Bojangles
The Bojangles are a tightly-knit network of minor talents who heroically volunteer their time patrolling the streets of New Orleans under the guise of street performers.
Officially called “The Buskers of Jackson Square,” the BoJS is affectionately nicknamed the “Bojangles” after its founding member in the 60’s. The founder, only know as “Mr. Bojangles” was a roaming dancer that discovered he could fly, and spent his life doing good—when he wasn’t in prison. But that’s another story. “Mr. Bojangles” (or Mrs. Bojangles) now also the title of the leader of group.
Those in-the-know often tip them generously when they see them, not for their performances, but for their tireless service to the supernatural community. This network interfaces closely with the Paranet, centered out of Chicago. The Bojangles are current led by Charlie Bard. The Bojangles use Artist Colony as a coordinating/head quarters, as well as a cover for their operation.

- Charlie Bard
- Dylan Flynn
- Jeanie Lafitte (Jean)

- “Stead Freddy” (See below)
