Baron Samedi, The Master of the dead, leads the Ghede nanchon together with his beautiful wife Maman Brigitte. He drinks rum and smokes cigars, he is rude, crude, charming and he often chases mortal women, despite being married to Maman Brigitte. She is The Lady of the cemetery, protectress of the gravestones and mistress of healing. She is sexual, rude and charming as her husband. They are both among the most powerful and respected Loa in Vodou. Baron Samedi is the most notorious and lively Loa of the nanchon notorious for their notoriety. He is well known for obscenity, debauchery and having a particular fondness of rum, tobacco and mortal women. Although Baron often enjoys a good dance alongside all previously mentioned vices, none of those get in a way of Baron’s duties of digging graves and healing those close to dying.His duty of the graveyard guardian also includes ensuring a person is buried properly. After the burial, he watches over their graves to ensure they rot in the ground as they should. He does this in order to prevent their soul from coming back as mindless zombies.

What Baron Samedi demands his services greatly depends on his mood. Sometimes he is content with his followers wearing purple, black or white. At other occasions, he requires simple gifts which include rum, cigars, black coffee or grilled peanuts. When he is particularly moody he requires a Vodou ceremony with music, dancing, and sacrifice of an ox for the fest in order to be bothered to cross over into this realm.
