Baron Samedi (Valiant Entertainment)

== Summary ==
Baron Samedi, or simply Samedi, is the Loa of the Dead, an entity who rules a large territory in Deadside. Baron Samedi is perhaps one of the most powerful Loa's to exist in the world.
He started off as an enemy of Shadowman, but slowly changed his stance around to help and train Jack into becoming a better Shadowman and protector of the world. His true motives and goals are forever unknown. In this never-ending war between the light and the dark, the living and the dead, he has always taken a very neutral position, not taking any sides.
