====== Mr. Jacobs ======

**Former West African slave now American Voodoo Priest**


Mr. Jacobs is a powerful practitioner of [[wp>West African Vodun]]. He was captured by French slavers in the 18th century and transported to [[wp>Saint-Domingue]]. After only a few years in captivity he escaped to [[wp>Louisiana]]. In Louisiana he heavily influenced [[wp>Louisiana Voodoo]] until he came to the attention of the European Wizards (i.e. [[groups:White Council]]). It was their support of slavery that led to so much suffering, so there is no chance of a reconciliation between the two. He knows the laws and does not break them; although like many wizards he does bend them heavily at times.

Mr. Jacobs is a tall black man with a lanky build. He is nearly always seen in a nice suit, dress shoes, and with either a [[wp>Panama Hat]] or [[wp>Top Hat]]. Additionally he is almost never without his can, which is topped with a human skull. Most people would consider it quite the oddity, but it serves to focus his will.

He speaks French, English, and Arabic as a native, with a smattering of Spanish and Russian.
