Maitre Carrefour

Knowing the power of true names, Maitre Carrefour keeps his a closely guarded secret. He goes only by his title, meaning “master of the crossroads,” the name of a Voodoo loa of sorcery. The name is fitting, as Maitre Carrefour is a formidable mystic. His origins appear to lie somewhere in the Caribbean, where he rose from poverty and obscurity to the heights of occult power.
Maitre Carrefour is notable for having no real ties with The Mayombe cult, his power is independent and achieved largely on his own. He is known as a bokor, a sorcerer who uses his powers without regard for the laws of the loa or ethical concerns. For some time, his services were available to anyone able to meet his price, and they remain so, although the price has steadily increased. Maitre Carrefour has been responsible for numerous cases of blackmail, occult influence, and murder, thought to be untraceable.
His primary foe over his long criminal career has been Siren. Although she has thwarted Maitre Carrefour’s schemes on a number of occasions, and even put him in prison, he has usually found a means of escaping punishment for his crimes. Eventually, he returns with some new scheme or the threads of an occult criminal conspiracy trace back to him, like the strings of a puppet-master.
Unlike his immortal foe, however, Maitre Carrefour has begun to feel the effects of his age. Although he remains healthy, time has taken its toll: his hair has gone white, his once-tall form bent. Some of the sorcerer’s more recent schemes have concerned ways to restore his lost youth or, perhaps, if left with no other means to stave off death, how to become a true “zombie master” by joining the ranks of the undead. In either case, Maitre Carrefour would become an even more formidable foe.
