Dr. Facilier

Dr. Facilier (commonly known as the Shadow Man) is the main antagonist of Disney's 2009 animated feature film The Princess and the Frog. He is an evil, smooth-talking who plots to rule New Orleans with help from his "friends on the other side". Having come from a poor background, Facilier grew to resent the rich and prosperous—none so much as the most powerful man in the city, Eli "Big Daddy" La Bouff. Facilier sought to supersede his rival using voodoo and pawns while offering the souls of New Orleans' denizens to his "friends" as recompense.
Since his inception, Facilier has garnered critical acclaim and major popularity with fans, making him one of Disney's most popular villains. In response, he quickly became a primary member of the Disney Villains line-up.
==Background==
Facilier's past is mostly unknown, though he mentions being a descendant of royalty through his mother (whose severed, shrunken head he keeps in his emporium). His motivations toward taking over New Orleans were briefly implied to be a result of a poor upbringing, where the wealthy either treated him with disrespect or ignored him altogether.
At some point in time, through unknown circumstances, Facilier encountered a group of dark loa and formed an alliance with them, granting himself power over black magic, which he would regularly use to swindle the citizens of New Orleans for easy money by "granting" their wishes—posing as an amoral businessman of sorts. Facilier refers to the loa as his "friends on the other side", and they typically act as his lackeys throughout the witch doctor's various schemes. His crooked nature and affiliation with these shadowy figures earned Facilier the nickname "Shadow Man." However, Facilier's power comes at a price; should he fail to remunerate his "friends" for their services, Facilier must recompense with his soul.
As evidenced by Tiana's knowledge and distaste for him, Facilier has an infamous reputation around the city and is a feared figure in the eyes of its inhabitants. Despite having access to the loa's magic, however, Facilier continued to struggle socially and financially—unlike others, like his wealthy rival Eli "Big Daddy" La Bouff. This played into Facilier's belief that the true "power" that controls the world is money, not magic, thus setting off his coup to seize the La Bouff fortune.
Facilier is accompanied by his sidekick shadow, which has a will and personality of its own. It is obedient to Facilier's wishes and seems to reflect his inner mood (ex. when Facilier was luring an unsuspecting Naveen and Lawrence to his parlor table, the shadow briefly formed into a snake, hinting treacherous intent). His base of operation was a seedy parlor known as Dr. Facilier's Voodoo Emporium, which is shown to be filled with strange objects and voodoo paraphernalia (some of which he admits that he "ain't even tried") including shrunken heads and voodoo dolls which seem to come alive, chant, and beat drums when Facilier is about to perform his biggest spells. The dolls also serve a practical application - he has a voodoo doll of 'Big Daddy' La Bouff primed and ready for the moment he can get his hands on the rich man's fortune.
===Personality===
Facilier is a scheming bokor, driven mostly by greed and the desire to have authority over others; more specifically, the citizens of New Orleans. As Naveen mentions, Facilier is indeed suave, smooth-talking, polite, and often charming, which aids him in luring unsuspecting victims into his lair. When it comes to sorcery, Facilier is not as powerful as he seems, as his magic is primarily derived from his "friends", forcing the witch doctor to mostly rely on his power of persuasion to carry out his bidding. This was a weapon perhaps even more dangerous than black magic during his lifetime, as Facilier was able to maintain control over his "friends" by repeatedly manipulating them with charm and temptation. Despite their nearly unlimited power, this made the voodoo demons just as susceptible to Dr. Facilier as his human victims.
Facilier is an opportunist and can be quick to formulate plots. After overhearing the planned arrival of a foreign prince, and Charlotte La Bouff's lovesick infatuation with the said prince, Facilier was able to quickly concoct an elaborate scheme—one of which that could have very well succeeded, if not for unexpected interference.
While a polite, charismatic showman, Facilier is also cruel, remorseless, and sadistic. He has no qualms with terrorizing innocent civilians as a means to reach his own goals and often relies on manipulation and false promises to achieve said goals. As evidenced by his words to his "friends", while ordering them to capture Naveen: "Bring him to me alive, I need his heart pumpin'... For now.", Facilier is not above killing his victims, once their usefulness has been fulfilled. His murderous state is also shown when Ray the firefly interferes with his plot, as the witch doctor quickly resorted to murder to prevent further interference (despite being fully aware of Ray's sapience), and appeared nonchalant about the matter. On a larger scale, Facilier would even use New Orleans' denizens as a bargaining chip, offering their lives in exchange for more power from his "friends".
While generally composed, Facilier has instances of lashing out in anger, particularly when he feels disrespected. For example, when Lawrence questioned Facilier's legitimacy by referring to him as a charlatan, Facilier immediately confronted Lawrence in fury and nearly hit Lawrence with his stick, though he managed to pull himself back fairly quickly and refrained from harming him. Likewise, Facilier's equanimity is somewhat of a façade. Though he gives off the impression of being totally in control of every situation, in reality, he lives in constant fear of being unable to repay his debt to his "friends". When the notion of failure comes into play, Facilier becomes vulnerable, desperate, and high-strung.
Despite his complete lack of morals and treacherous nature, Facilier frequently sympathizes with the downtrodden or poor. With Lawrence, he made a genuine effort to retain a calm and patient demeanor when commencing with him; he was adamant about having Lawrence willingly work as his accomplice, rather than forcing him into villainy through torture or intimidation. There is also no evidence that Facilier intended to betray Lawrence to keep all the money for himself even if he was getting the (slightly as it is 60-40) larger amount of money. He also sympathized with Tiana and her late father, he even offered to make her dream a reality in exchange for his talisman (albeit for his own convenience) and it nearly worked until she regained her senses.
===Physical appearance===
Facilier is tall, skinny, mustached, and dressed in very linear black-and-red clothing. He has purple eyes, and a thin mustache, as well as a gap between his front teeth. He also has long, bony fingers, and lanky arms and legs.
Dressed as the infamous Loa of the dead Baron Samedi, Facilier wears a black top hat with a red band, a purple feather in it and a skull and crossbones on it; the skull can be magically removed and change into a skull make-up as shown in "Friends on the Other Side". Under his top hat, instead of being bald or having a comb-over, Facilier has a huge hairdo to fit in his hat, also many villains are seen to have hair as he does. Around his neck, he wears a necklace with two crocodile teeth. Facilier wears a dark maroon undertaker tailcoat and black pants, white spats over black shoes, a purple vest under his tailcoat that doesn't entirely cover his midriff, and a red cummerbund. One might say he somewhat looks and performs like a showman. Like most Disney Villains, Facilier's clothing consists mainly of red, black, and purple.
He wields a black cane with a silver detail under a purple globe on top, possibly a crystal ball, though it is never revealed. Facilier seems to use his cane for show performances, a tool, or a weapon. He carries a voodoo talisman, which is the fragile source of his powers. As shown, only a person besides Facilier, who wears the talisman, becomes whoever they want, provided it has a particular person's blood.
===Powers and abilities===
*Voodoo: Facilier is a bokor that performs left-handed or Petro Voodoo (the dark and stereotypical voodoo magic). He is a conjurer and sorcerer of sorts, possessing powerful dark voodoo magic capable of accomplishing nearly anything. He can see into the past of a person and see what people desire the most. He is proficient in sleight of hand, effortlessly shuffling, twisting, and manipulating his deck of tarot cards. He is a skilled conjurer as well, being able to pull his staff and tarot deck out of thin air (although this may also be attributed to sleight of hand.) Curiously, despite having great power, the nature of his voodoo leaves Dr. Facilier unable to conjure a thing for himself, demonstrated when he didn't shapeshift into Prince Naveen's human form after wearing the special talisman that he lets Lawrence wear. Instead, he must rely on trickery and guile to manipulate other people into doing what he wants. The nature of his power seems to stem around making deals; he only gains full access to his voodoo when fulfilling someone else's wishes (although he can usually twist them to suit his ends) or tempting them.
*Fortune Telling: Facilier's tarot cards possess unique properties: the images on them seem to change, reflecting the history and/or desires of Facilier's victims (such as when one of his cards elongated to show Naveen is descended from two long lines of royalty and when Tiana's restaurant picture appeared on a card in the deck). The cards usually show his victims their future in a positive light; however, they are unable to corrupt the truth entirely and usually include a clue as to the victim's real fate (for example, when Naveen sees his future filled with "green," he fails to see the lily pad made of money in the background).
*Spell Casting: Facilier is shown casting spells through the use of a strange pink powder. The effects of this powder include the reversal of the frog spell on Tiana, a man spontaneously growing hair on his head (briefly before having it sprout all over him), producing puffs of smoke that display memories, and the creation of a full-scale rendition of Tiana's dream restaurant (although it is possible, and implied, that what he works with the powder are only illusions).
*"Friends on the Other Side": Facilier's evil abilities are primarily derived from his "friends" on the other side: these "friends" of his are a multitude of dark spirits (known as Loa) which appear in the forms of voodoo masks in his Voodoo Emporium. While he does call upon them for help, he is in actuality deeply indebted to them already (the nature of which is never explained but, it is implied the only way to pay them back is by giving them souls) and despite referring to the voodoo spirits as his "friends", he actually secretly fears them.
*Deception: Facilier has proven to be cunning, conniving, and persuasive. Facilier can charm and persuade anyone to strike a deal with by using their desires and tempt them, and his voodoo to make their dreams come true. However, he can twist his promises to fulfill his own desires by lying to them or misleading them. Facilier had tricked Prince Naveen into promising him money and Lawrence for a chance to be a prince, for the former he turned into a frog for the latter's dream to be genuine, but used both of them to give himself what he wants. Facilier almost tricked Tiana into handing him the talisman by offering her the restaurant her and her father's been working so hard to achieve.
==Appearances==
===The Princess and the Frog===
Facilier is first introduced during “Down in New Orleans”, where he is established as a con-man who strikes faulty deals with the desperate townsfolk in exchange for petty cash. Though generally amused by his own scams, Facilier and his living shadow lament their destitute lot in life—especially when compared to the prosperous standings of Eli "Big Daddy" La Bouff. Coveting Big Daddy’s wealth and power, Facilier spies on the sugar baron and his daughter, Charlotte La Bouff, to find a means of usurping their fortunes. While dining at a café, Facilier learns that Charlotte has aspirations to court a visiting royal, Prince Naveen, and develops a plot to manipulate their union for his own gain. Facilier lures Naveen and his valet, Lawrence, into his parlor where he offers to make their dreams come true.
For the lazy prince, Facilier offers ”green” and the freedom to “hop place-to-place”. For the overworked and under-appreciated Lawrence, Facilier promises to make him “the man you’ve always wanted to be.” Naveen and Lawrence accept Facilier’s deal, who calls upon his “”friends on the other side” to perform a voodoo ritual. Lawrence is transformed into Naveen’s doppelgänger through the magic of a talisman containing the prince’s blood. Under Facilier’s guidance, the disguised Lawrence is to marry Charlotte for the sake of inheriting her father’s fortune. Once their union is set, Facilier will murder Big Daddy with a voodoo doll, granting him control of the La Bouff fortune and all of New Orleans. Naveen, meanwhile, is transformed into a frog and imprisoned in a jar, but is kept alive long enough so that his blood can continuously power Facilier’s talisman.
At Charlotte's masquerade ball, a disguised Lawrence meets and courts the wealthy debutante. Meanwhile, Naveen manages to escape from the jar and seeks out help amongst the ball attendees. He stumbles upon a young woman named Tiana, whom Naveen mistakes for a princess. Hoping to break the spell ala "The Frog Prince" fairytale, Naveen shares a kiss with Tiana, but because she is not a princess and was merely wearing a costume, she transforms into a frog as well. Through a series of hijinks and mishaps, Naveen and Tiana find themselves lost in the bayou. Though initially frustrated with Naveen’s escape and Lawrence’s attempts to renege on their deal, Facilier smooth-talks Lawrence into going through with the plan, promising to split the spoils 60-40% and disregarding Naveen’s escape as a “minor bump in the road”, so long as the prince’s blood remains in the talisman. The following day, Lawrence successfully proposes to Charlotte. The oblivious debutante wholly accepts, declaring that they will wed at Mardi Gras. However, Naveen’s blood supply begins to rapidly deplete, undoing Lawrence’s disguise. With his plans at risk, a desperate Facilier is reduced to asking for help from his "friends on the other side".
Facilier consults his “friends" at his emporium, who are displeased with the witch doctor’s performance and are wary of offering further assistance. Facilier plays into their greed by promising his “friends” the freedom to prey upon and consume the souls of New Orleans once Big Daddy is killed and the city is under his rule. Enticed by this proposal, Facilier is granted a legion of shadow demons to serve as his henchmen. The witch doctor commands the shadows to find and capture Naveen, deploying them across both the city and bayou. Facilier and Lawrence seclude themselves away in the La Bouff's guest house thereafter to evade Charlotte until the prince’s return. Meanwhile, Naveen and Tiana journey across the bayou to seek the aid of Mama Odie, a voodoo priestess who both overpowers and openly rebukes the workings of Facilier and his shadows. Mama Odie instructs Naveen and Tiana to return to New Orleans, where Naveen must share a kiss with Charlotte—the “princess” of the annual Mardi Gras parade—before the stroke of midnight. On the riverboat back to the city, Facilier’s shadows successfully manage to kidnap Naveen. 
Back at the La Bouff estate, Charlotte rapidly loses patience as her groom remains missing mere hours before their wedding ceremony is to take place. While Lawrence stalls for time, Facilier and his shadow grow fearful, asserting he’s “doomed” unless the Frog Prince can be found. Suddenly, the shadows return with Naveen in their possession. Delighted, Facilier and Lawrence extract the prince’s blood with the talisman, restoring its power. The wedding ceremony occurs that night at the Mardi Gras parade. As Lawrence and Charlotte are about to be pronounced husband and wife, Facilier watches eagerly from the shadows with a voodoo doll of Big Daddy at hand. Naveen, meanwhile, is locked away in a box. Unbeknownst to Facilier, however, Ray the firefly—whom Naveen befriended in the bayou—learns of Naveen’s predicament and frees the prince from his confines. Naveen assaults Lawrence and recovers the talisman, disrupting the ceremony before the marriage could be complete. Facilier and Lawrence attempt to fight back, but Ray intervenes, grabbing the talisman for himself and flying off to Tiana. Facilier summons his shadows to stop the firefly. 
Ray eventually finds Tiana, informing her of Facilier’s schemes and handing off the talisman. Ray urges Tiana to escape, but stays behind to fend off the shadow demons. Ray’s light successfully overpowers the shadows, but Facilier swats the firefly out of the air and crushes him under his shoe. With Ray defeated, Facilier and his shadows confront Tiana, who threatens to destroy the talisman. In a hasty attempt to strike a deal, Facilier conjures an illusion that depicts Tiana’s dream restaurant. Facilier plays into Tiana’s deepest desires, offering to make her dreams a reality in exchange for the talisman. When Tiana shows resistance, Facilier evokes memories of Tiana’s naysayers, as well as memories of her deceased father, James, with whom she shared her dream. Facilier reminds Tiana of James’s hard work and sacrifice, claiming that she now has the chance to give her father “everything he ever wanted.” Though tempted, Tiana rebukes Facilier’s ideology, asserting that her father may not have had what he wanted, but had what he needed in love. Tiana thusly rejects Facilier’s offer and attempts to destroy the talisman. 
Before the talisman could be destroyed, however, it is recovered by Facilier’s shadow. Facilier calls off his proposal and shatters Tiana’s illusion, pinning her down with his cane and declaring that she will spend the rest of her life as a frog. Undeterred, Tiana uses her elastic tongue to steal back the talisman and shatters it, foiling Facilier’s plans. Facilier falls into a state of immediate panic as his "friends from the other side" arrive to collect his soul as punishment for his failure to repay his debt. Facilier tries to sedate his “friends” with more promises and deals, but they refuse to adhere to the witch doctor’s pleas. They grab hold of Facilier's shadow, thus capturing Facilier as well, subsequently dragging him into the voodoo world, where his soul will be doomed to remain for all eternity. With a flash of light, both Dr. Facilier and his “friends” vanish, leaving behind only a tombstone with Facilier's name and horrified face engraved onto it, confirming the witch doctor's death.

==Trivia==
*In French "facile" (in other Romance languages it is written in the same way, but pronounced differently) means "easy", then "Facilier" could be "the one that makes things easy", using magic.
* Bruce Smith describes Facilier as the love child of the Disney Villains Captain Hook and Cruella De Vil.
*Facilier was originally named Dr. Duvalier after Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, the Voodoo-practicing genocidal dictator of Haiti.
*In the film, Dr. Facilier is shown to use Voodoo Dolls. Counter to popular belief, "Voodoo Dolls" are not an actual part of Voodoo but were created by white authors during the 1930s to further vilify the religion, taking the concept of the dolls from European witchcraft.
*Dr. Facilier is the only character in the film who refers to himself as such. Everyone else simply calls him "(the) Shadow Man". Dr. Facilier's first name is never revealed, either.
*Facilier's design is inspired by the loa Baron Samedi from Haitian Voodoo. The Baron is a well-known figure from Voodoo and also became very famous due to the appearance of an impersonator (possibly hinted at the end to be the deity itself) in the 1973 James Bond film Live and Let Die and in various subsequent James Bond-themed video games.
*The way Facilier moves is quite similar to 1920s era jazz musicians/dancers, notably Cab Calloway.
*While he is dancing in front of Naveen and Lawrence in his Voodoo shop, his Shadow turns the wall's floral background into skulls.
* In an earlier script, Dr. Facilier would not just be a dark wizard who wants to conquer New Orleans with the help of his friends, he would have been Mama Odie's son, who followed the path of the dark arts, unlike his mother. In this same script, there was to be a showdown between the two of them, which would have converged into a major battle during the Mardi Gras.
* Facilier is the first black Disney Villain and the fourth to have French origins.
*Facilier wears a crocodile-tooth necklace; Voodoo practitioners believe that crocodile teeth can bring strength, primal energy, and wisdom.
*Facilier was the first villain in the Disney animated canon to have his own song since Alameda Slim in 2004’s Home on the Range.
*It is very subtly implied that Doctor Facilier can play the piano because there is one in his Voodoo Emporium.
*In some books, Facilier is not sucked into the voodoo mask as a gateway to the voodoo world, but swallowed by his shadows, leaving his hat.
