Doctor Facilier is a sinister trickster who works the French quarter, luring unsuspecting 'marks' into deals where he technically gives them whatever they want but always leaves them much worse off than they were before. Facilier is accompanied by his sidekick shadow that actually has a life and personality of its own. Facilier and shadow yearn to expand their small time operation, spread darkness and mayhem and become fantastically wealthy in the process.
