CHARACTER INFORMATION
-
Jericho returned to his native Haiti
after twelve years of education in medicine and practice in America. His
brother Daniel had become the local Houngan, but was dying from the spell
of a rival bokor who claimed he served the evil serpent god Damballah.
Before he died, Daniel made his brother vow to visit Papa Jambo, who had
instructed Daniel in the arts of a Houngan. After only a few weeks Jericho
had reached a proficiency in voodoo even greater than his brother's. To
further increase his power, Papa Jambo performed a rite that summoned Daniel
Drumm's spirit back from the dead and joined it with Jericho's own. Calling
himself Brother Voodoo, Jericho defeated the cult and has proven himself
the supreme Houngan of Haiti.

HISTORY BREAKDOWN
-
Gambit and Brother Voodoo crossed paths
in New Orleans when zombie attacked the city, thanks to Antoinelle Arcenoux's
voodoo curse. Both were on the same mission, to save the city they called
their own. Brother Voodoo explained that the zombies were controlled by
a boker. When Emery James Arcenoux enters the scene as a zombie mutant
hell bent on killing Gambit, with Detective Tanaka's assistance, they realize
the one to blame is his Aunt, Antoinelle.

After stealing a boat, that was against Brother Voodoo's liking,
they raced out to the Arcenoux home out on the bayou, only to find it guarded
by the undead. With Detective Tanaka and Emery hot on their tail, Brother
Voodoo summoned the nature around them for help while Gambit talked Antoinelle
out of the curse she had put on everyone, including her Nephew.

-
When the day was saved and all the dead
were returned to their proper graves, including Gambit's friend, Dan Downs,
Brother Voodoo had one last thing for Remy. He offered him his card so
Gambit could contact him, for an appointment.
