As the series begins we see him being reintroduced to the Freedom Party cell in his city and being told the truth about his past life. Despite being initially unbelieving Blake starts to suffer flashbacks which grow stronger when he sees the cell being betrayed and murdered, exactly as his had been. On his return to the city he is arrested once more, and in short order, the Federation frame him of child abuse charges to discredit him, and after a second show trial he is sent to Cygnus Alpha.

Initially Blake was an idealistic leader dedicated to opposing the Federation, however his goal of destroying it starts to dominate his life, and leads to his decision to destroy Star One, the central computer which controls all of the planets in the federation. He comes to believe that the massive loss of life and inevitable civil war that would ensue are acceptable risks to be taken. Despite the salutory lesson of Gan's death, Blake crosses the invisible line from freedom fighter to terrorist, and pays the ultimate price, when last we see him, he has become more pragmatic, posing as a bounty hunter in order to recruit more people for his new anti-Federation group. He has lost the ability to
                    determine when the means are not worth the end.

His own end, at the hands of Avon, is the result of a tragic misreading of Avon's personality which has destablised in the time they spent apart.
