The Candle Maker

The Candle Maker is the benevolent deity in The Book of Life. His job is to maintain balance within the Candles of Life that embody each and every living being's life and time on Earth. He makes home within the Cave of Souls, the link between the two realms of the Land of the Remembered and the Land of the Forgotten.

Personality
He is known to be very amicable and cheerful deity, as he tends to show an indicated friendship towards both watchers of the realms La Muerte and Xibalba. In addition to other deities, he is also very kind towards Manolo, the determined protagonist seeking to be with his love interest Maria.

While he usually tends to stay loyal to the respective watchers of the realms, he is willing to break their orders to maintain balance, or even to help his friends.
