Baron Saturday is the [[Zombies|zombie]] consort of [[Erzulie Gogol]], father of [[Ella Saturday]] and deposed ruler of [[Genua]]. The events of {{WA}} are centred around the problems caused in Genua by [[Lily Weatherwax|Lilith de Tempscire]] and the unfolding of a seemingly-fairytale narrative being disrupted by [[Granny Weatherwax]] and her coven in the name of good.

Baron Saturday is of course [[Roundworld]]'s {{wp|Baron_Samedi|Baron Samedi}} ("Saturday" in French), the chief Voodoo god (or ''loa'') who stands at the crossroads between life and death, and is a symbol of sexuality, noted for disruption, obscenity, debauchery, and having a particular fondness for tobacco and rum. Perhaps his most famous incarnation in the western world is as a character in the novel and film version of Ian Fleming's ''Live and Let Die''.

In Voodoo mythology he is a white, skull-faced deity who wears a top hat and a tattered tailcoat. These are draped on a cross in many voodoo rituals, particularly those in Haiti. [[Discworld]]'s Baron appears in this outfit at the height of the ''[[Fat Lunchtime]]'' carnival in Genua, and dances a storm.

At the end of the {{WA}} he is claimed by [[Death]], so he cannot be, or have been, the ''real'' Baron Saturday.

Baron Samedi is also briefly referenced in {{GO}}, when a voodoo priest, trying to make sense of what he is yet to realise is the End of the World happening around him, attempts to commune with his Gods, but instead makes contact with the disembodied spirit of the angel [[Aziraphale]].
