Gate/Introduction
There are three things you need to understand about The Baron: He has a sick sense of humor. He has people everywhere. He's fair.
The creature that used to be a man, is in a state of Holy Quasi-Death; Gate dosn't belong to Samedi, technically, in the Voodoo Side of things. He belongs to Kriminel. Baron Kriminel. The Gate (Or Gate) was found by a Guede, a servant of the Three Barons supposedly, and instead of being torn apart or ritually killed or, even brought to punishment -- Kriminel came, tore out his soul, weighed it and...laughed. The Man is Dead, and as a Samedi his sins of vanity, pride, and murder have left him cursed and stained, as a vampire, he is Undead. So it is, that Gate lives not for himself, but for The Dead, in hopes to better understand Death, and himself, bandaged and treated as Dead - save for one very special day of the year, where all The Dead come to Earth.
Gate is emotionally dead, ignorant of sarcasm, and he may seem somewhat distracted. Here, but not...Here. As a Shepherd of the Dead - a Guede and Samedi - Gate oversees a community and his flock are Mexican's. Often appearing only when called for, or when he can smell the just-turned-Rigor-Mortis state of a corpse, to offer burial rites to the Grieving, and Departed. Other times (and this is where many Sects frown at his presence) he becomes a Sword. Adopting Baron Kriminel's method of establishing a balance: Giving justice to The Dead, and becoming their Right Hand of Wrath, often leaving grisly scenes behind him that will only perpetuate violence amongst The Living - so Wraith and Shadow both are appeased.
Gate is to a Praxis little more than a Folklore Figure: Spoken of as The Bandaged Man, in Mexican Community, or sometimes referenced by Nosferatu as 'Bandaid Bob'. Mostly because he dosn't fucking feel anything, or offer any companionship - he's dead inside, too. But those willing to deal with the cold demeanor (and the horrible smell capable of making Redcaps and Mummy vomit) will find Gate all too willing to hear out an offer of service, or barter.
