Dr. Facilier

"Gentlemen! Enchanté. A tip of the hat from Dr. Facilier. How y'all doin'?" -Facilier introducing himself

Dr. Facilier (commonly known as the Shadow Man) is the main antagonist of Mama Imelda Bot: Collision Course. He is an evil, smooth-talking witch doctor who plots to rule Texas with the help of his "friends on the other side".

Biography
Facilier's past is mostly unknown, though he mentions being a descendant of royalty through his mother (whose severed, shrunken head he keeps in his emporium). His motivations toward taking over Texas were briefly implied to be a result of a poor upbringing, where the wealthy either treated him with disrespect or ignored him altogether.

At some point in time, through unknown circumstances, Facilier encountered a group of dark loa and formed an alliance with them, granting himself power over black magic, which he would regularly use to swindle the citizens of New Orleans for easy money by "granting" their wishes—posing as an amoral businessman of sorts. He refers to the loa as his "friends on the other side", and they typically act as his lackeys throughout the witch doctor's various schemes. His crooked nature and affiliation with these shadowy figures earned him the nickname "Shadow Man." However, Facilier's power comes at a price; should he fail to remunerate his "friends" for their services, he must recompense with his soul.

Personality
Facilier is a scheming man, driven mostly by greed and the desire to have authority over others; more specifically, the citizens of Texas. As Miguel mentions, Facilier is indeed suave, smooth-talking, polite, and often charming, which aids him in luring unsuspecting victims into his lair. When it comes to sorcery, he is not as powerful as he seems, as his magic is primarily derived from his "friends", forcing the witch doctor to mostly rely on his power of persuasion to carry out his bidding. This was a weapon perhaps even more dangerous than black magic during his lifetime, as he was able to maintain control over his "friends" by repeatedly manipulating them with charm and temptation. Despite their nearly unlimited power, this made the voodoo demons just as susceptible to Dr. Facilier as his human victims.

Facilier is an opportunist and can be quick to formulate plots. After overhearing the planned arrival of Mama Imelda Bot and her friends to the area, he was able to quickly concoct an elaborate scheme—one of which that could have very well succeeded, if not for unexpected interference.
