- Un bokor en el culto vudú es un brujo, houngan (sacerdotes) o mambo (sacerdotisas), que se dice "sirven a la loa con ambas manos", lo que significa que practica tanto la magia negra como la magia de luz (blanca). Su magia negra incluye la creación de zombies y la creación de "ouangas ', talismanes que albergan espíritus. El nombre bokor también puede referirse al líder de la división Makaya del vudú (que se originó en la región del Congo) y a la categoría de iniciación más alta en el vudú dominicano. Los bokor aparecen en muchos relatos de Haití y con frecuencia están asociados con la creación de 'zombies' por el uso de una poción que normalmente contiene veneno extraído del pez globo (tetrodotoxina). Esta poción hace que el bebedor parezca estar muerto y por lo tanto a menudo se le entierra; más tarde, el bokor volverá por el "cadáver" y le obligara a cumplir órdenes, en forma de trabajo manual. Al "cadáver" se le da a menudo drogas, principalmente provenientes de plantas del género datura, que los pone en un estado como de ensueño y con desapego de la realidad. Su estado se asemeja al de una mente que está controlada. Así mismo, se dice que un bokor trabaja con zombies astrales, es decir, almas o espíritus que son capturados y confinados a un fetiche creado para mejorar el poder del bokor. Los bokor suelen ser elegidos desde el nacimiento, y se cree que tienen un gran ashe (poder). Un bokor puede ser, en términos mundanos, bueno o malo, aunque algunas fuentes (judeo-cristianas) los consideran la versión malvada de un houngan.

If there are a large amount of dead people, it spreads like wildfire from person to person. The infection stage is prolonged and is not entirely painless, but the infectee slowly drifts off into a coma, and eventually death. ("Dance of the Mayflies") Their origin and history are largely unknown, although it is known that it has spanned over 50,000 years, as no previous species had ever prevailed against the infection of the Bokor. Since that time, they have retained the collective history of all the previous host "shells" that they had infected, allowing them to retain that knowledge. Ultimately, their goal is expansion and survival, with their activities becoming more widespread and aggressive through the Long Night. The Than-Thre-Kull discovered the infection by Bokor while they were hunting it on a Human habitat and attacked it in order to eliminate the threat. However, an unaware Andromeda Ascendant rescued some of the surviving sentients still clinging onto life and brought them onto the ship. On board the Andromeda, the Bokor infection killed the survivors and revived their corpses in an attempt to capture the Glorious Heritage Class heavy cruiser. They infected and almost killed Beka Valentine, and successfully infected Trance Gemini, as her body was a Celestial Avatar and thus technically not alive or dead, which made taking her body incredibly easy for the Bokor. The crew were able to determine that strong enough electric shocks could purge the Bokor from their hosts, allowing Trance to subsequently perfect a more thorough cure using Andromeda's medical nanobots ("Dance of the Mayflies"). Though apparently defeated, a number of Bokor arrived in the Drago-Kazov Pride home system where they participated in attacking the Nietzscheans and the New Systems Commonwealth fleet that arrived in the area.
