God of : Creation | Religion : Haitian Voodou | Persuasion : Rada

The Loa of creation, father of the gods, and part of a rainbow making two-piece with his wife Aiya-Wedo. He coils himself around the world and it seems he thinks his work is done.

He doesn't do a lot, just kind of lies there, stuffing his face with offerings. He is particularly fond of anything white - chicken, eggs and rice are firm favourites. He doesn't say a lot either - maybe he thinks his wisdom is too much for us to grasp? Maybe he doesn't speak English. Or maybe he just makes snake noises because, well, he's a snake.

Sometimes he may cause the odd eartquake when he does decide to shift a little and the reflection of the sun on his scales will cause a rainbow.
