History
Baron Samedi came to Portland, Oregon to make an army of the "undead." He was responsible for what the Portland police believed was people coming back from the dead. It turned out that he put his victims in a death-like trance. When he woges, he turns into a puffer fish-like Wesen called a Cracher-Mortel. He has the ability to spit a thick green liquid onto his victims which puts them into the trance.

He started out just attacking one person at a time, but then he got onto a city bus and spit his liquid on all of them. His "army" of "zombies" started to grow and he put them into a shipping container while he continues to get more people to build his army to unleash on Portland.

After putting his new group of zombies into the container, he goes to the hotel where Eric Renard is staying and they laugh and greet each other because of what they have planned for Portland.
