#19 – Baron Samedi
Baron Samedi is one of the Loa of Haitian Vodou. The Baron is represented in the Mythoscape as a Shattered. But a very special kind of Shattered. While he is quite the troublemaker, Baron Samedi refrains from the mindless violence so many others of his kind partake in. Instead, he focuses his energies on offending as many Gods and civillians as possible. The epitome of rude, vile and cruel, his sole purpose is to piss people off. Be warned though, he is a very powerful Shattered when angered or when he stumbles across something he really wants. Rumor has it, the Baron made some kind of deal with Hecate, the goddess of the crossroads. Though no one admits to knowing what that deal might have been.

So if he’s not one of the gods, does that mean he’s non-robotic? I take it he’s kind of like Pandora?
Yup. He’s a Shattered. Shattered are essentially, the nightmares and horrors that take place within the mind. Manifested as monsters and demons. I wanted to make him a robot. That would’ve looked so cool. But I couldn’t fit it within the “rules” of the Mythoscape because he’s technically a spirit, not a god.
