Richard Benoit or The Bokor is the owner of a Voodoo shop in New Orleans. He is revealed to be a Bokor, a Secte Rouge Sorcerer. Benoit used his car to evacuate while escaping Hurricane Katrina. During the emergency evacuation, Benoit ran over Rene Mouton with his car during Hurricane Katrina to, according to his religion, take his soul to gain influence on everyone Mouton influenced. After killing Rene Mouton, he shoved a gris-gris bag in his mouth. The intended effect of the mojo was, according to Sam Potter, to "silence the dead so they can't speak."
