Jessie Bodeen
Miss. Jessie Bodeen was a New Orleans Voodoo queen, who acted as a healer for the local African Americans working as servants in the city, and as a healer she was pledged to do no harm. Now a resident at "Everlasting Life", she tells you the story of her downfall when she accepted a commission from one Delphine LaLaurie, (a historically famous real-life murderess), for $150 (a lot of money back then), to drive away another socialite, Mrs. Anton, who was new in town and already more popular than Delphine LaLaurie. For the next three months, Jessie is able to discreetly poisons Mrs. Anton with small amounts of Aconite to keep her too ill to attend any parties, having been warned against cursing her by Mambo Marie, a fellow Voodoo practitioner. However, when the three months are done, Delphine LaLaurie reneges on their deal after Jessie Bodeen had kept up her end of it. Furious, after the lengths she had compromised her principles to for that money, Jessie Bodeen makes up her mind to seek revenge on Delphine LaLaurie by invoking the Loa, particularly Damballa, to avenge her. The Loa punish Delphine LaLaurie, regardless of collateral damages and innocent bystanders, and 10 years later, they also punish Jessie Bodeen for having taken on Delphine LaLaurie's commission in the first place ("The Loa cast their own judgements").
