Clermeil
In Haitian Vodou, Clermeil is a loa who makes rivers flood their banks. He is usually depicted as a white male. Clermeil is believed to be the father of all light-colored children.[1]
According to legend, Clermeil was a cruel French colonial. When his slaves tried to kill him he prayed to the devil, and promised his soul if the devil would save him.[1]
