Inspiration: Baron Samedi as portrayed in various horror films and novels.
This is a fictionalized version, bearing only the slightest resemblance to the real being.

A New World ethereal, a nomadic god of death and desperation and physical pleasures. The Baron seeks to expand his traditional powerbase from the dispossessed of humanity to the dispossessed demons. He has leapt from the gangsters of Los Angeles to the Goth subculture via schoolkids and from there to Gavin Russo and Pepito--a sorceror and a demon, both since dead. His next move...?
