Information about Maitre Carrefour from Wikipedia:
“Kalfu (also spelled Kalfou or Carrefour; lit. crossroads) is one of the Petwo aspects of the spirit Papa Legba. He is syncretized with Satan.

As his name indicates, he also controls the crossroads and has the power to grant or deny access to all other Loa, or spirits, and he allows the "crossing” of bad luck, deliberate destruction, misfortune, and injustices.“

Samedi is a Loa of the dead, along with Baron’s numerous other incarnations Baron Cimetière, Baron La Croix, and Baron Kriminel. He is syncretized with Saint Martin de Porres.

He is the head of the Guédé family of Loa. His wife is the Loa Maman Brigitte.”

Update #1 from Straight to Hell:

Belshazzar – last king of Babylon and an infamous idolater. Funnily enough, belongs in the family tree of someone called Nergal.

Baphomet – the classic, goat-headed demon, commonly used in occult fiction. There’s the spiritual icon of the Nightbreed from Clive Barker’s work – a spectacular analog for Jesus if you ask me. Which is what Alanis Morrissette might call ironic, since the very Christian order of the Knights Templar were often accused of devil worship, with Baphomet cited as their idol.

Belial – aka Baal, Satan. Although Milton, the forefather of Careyan Demonology, has Belial as a lesser demon of impurity.
