Baron Samedi

Baron Samedi is a pagan god who appeared at the hotel to discuss Judgement Day, and Lucifer and how to stop him.

Background
As well as being master of the dead, Baron Samedi is also a giver of life. He can cure any mortal of any disease or wound, if he thinks it is worthwhile. His powers are especially great when it comes to voodoo curses and black magic. Even if somebody has been afflicted by a hex which brings them to the verge of death, they will not die if the Baron refuses to dig their grave. So long as this mighty spirit keeps them out of the ground they are safe. He also ensures all corpses rot in the ground to stop any soul being brought back as a brainless zombie. What he demands in return depends on his mood.

He is a sexual Loa, frequently represented by phallic symbols and is noted for disruption, obscenity and debauchery. He loves smoking and drinking and is rarely seen without a cigar in his mouth or a glass of rum in his bony fingers. He may simply ask for a small gift of cigars, rum, black coffee, grilled peanuts or bread.

He appears in Hammer of the Gods at the Elysian Hotel, along with at least nine other deities from different cultures to talk about the Apocalypse and how to avert it. When Lucifer showed up, Samedi and other gods tried to fight him, but were subsequently slaughtered. Samedi appeared to survive the longest, even aiming a punch at Lucifer before the latter caught his fist and ripped him to pieces off-screen.
