A god of death but the life of the party, Baron Samedi is the chef at New Orleans’ rowdy Le Coq Noir—where both the living and the dead, humans and gods alike, come to imbibe and dine. He enjoys disruption and debauchery. Although married to Maman Brigitte and deeply in love with her, he has a joyous habit of stepping out on his wife.
