Jomo

Jomo is a Wraith from Little Five Points, Atlanta.

Background

A ghoul in the service of a Samedi vampire claiming to be the legendary Baron Samedi himself, Jomo served his master in Africa long before he came to Haiti. He spent many years attending conferences and handling the mortal needs of his vampiric lord in the Caribbean before he came to Atlanta. Whatever his master demanded, Jomo gladly handled, no matter what the nature of the order. Blood Bound beyond hope of escape, Jomo murdered and married with equal detachment, all at the command of the Baron.

As the decades passed and Jomo became one of the vampire's most trusted servants, Samedi told Jomo of the Shadowlands and the dangers inherent there. He also often warned that the day would come when Jomo would have to die in order to further the Baron's purposes, and, with the equanimity of the ghoul, Jomo accepted his fate. The Baron brought forth wraiths to speak with Jomo, showing him how to see the Restless and how to aid them when they needed assistance. Nor was Jomo's education limited to Stygian wraiths; in exchange for favors from wraiths of the Bush of Ghosts, he spent years in Mali and Dahomey, hunting down the murderers who'd sent his contacts across the Shroud. After almost three decades of this service, he returned to Atlanta, where his children had grown, married and had children of their own. He settled his affairs, writing out his will and leaving his money to the children he barely knew. Inevitably, the Baron arrived a scant week later, and Jomo introduced the vampire to the Baron had bound Jomo's family to his will, Jomo crept away from the house where he lived - not far from Little Five Points - and, as the Baron had commanded, committed suicide.

The preparation that the Baron had given Jomo has served him in good stead, and he adapted smoothly and easily to life in the Shadowlands, However, the Blood Bond that once held him is gone; the service he gives now comes from equal parts loyalty, habit and the fact that the Baron watches over his living family. Still, Jomo is a bit more independent than perhaps the Baron would like, and has risen quickly in the ranks of the Masquers' Guild.

Jomo is a stunning figure. He is tall and lean with flawless, ebony skin and perfect, even teeth. His long, tapered fingers move with an unsettling grace, and his cold, merciless stare unnerves most wraiths. He wears striped pants and a vest, with numerous fetishes and trinkets on strong around his neck to finish his attire.
