Adon Caddo, one of many Adons (lords) created by Adonai - the Lord of Lords, was sent into Adonai's newly-created world, to a location at the mouth of a great river in the swamp region of the Mighty River of North America. There on an insignificant island near what would become New Orleans, he erected a dwelling that became known as the Black Gardenia because of the abundance of the intoxicatingly-aromatic flower that grew only there. For countless centuries, Adon Caddo, along with his pelican companion, Pel, subtly influenced a myriad of extraordinary individuals who found themselves on the path to the Black Gardenia. Each would be faced with the ultimate eternal decision as their own unique story led him to either acceptance or rejection of Christ.
