Class: Bokor

Bokors are often associated with the creation of zombies and various other undead, and as such are reviled by the common peasant. It's not unusual for a bokor to have a small army of zombies accompanying them, much to the disconcertion of those nearby.

Also, bokors are said to work with Loa - souls or spirits which are either captured in a fetish (alchemical items) and made to enhance the Bokor's power, or beseeched for assistance. Bokor normally work with the Loas Baron Glegali, Diranwe, Algamron, Erdios, and in some cases they are said to work with Marduga, the loa of the forest.

Bokors are similar to the "root workers" of Vodou. Some may be priests of a Vodou house. Bokor are usually chosen from birth, those who are believed to bear a great ashe (power). A bokor can be, by worldly terms, good or evil, though some sources consider them an evil version of a houngan.
