Jean Louis Droo, Haitian born but schooled in America, worked as a computer scientist for a large silicon valley computer company until the news of his father's impending death brought the young scientist back to the land of his birth. Once home, Droo found modern medicine was unable to aid his father and that the only hope was a local "houngan" - a voodoo master.

Droo watched in fascination as the houngan completely cured his father's illness. Soon Droo became a virtual voodoo fanatic, devoting every waking hour to learning all there was to know about this most ancient of art. Within 2 years, Droo became a voodoo master, but unlike his teachers, Droo merged the ancient rituals of voodoo with modern computer science. Droo - now calling himself Houngan - uses an electro needle stylus and a computerised voodoo doll to create terrors the old voodoo houngans could neer have imagined.
