The Orisha Obatala, Father of The White Cloth, Calm, Tranquility, and Peace, has his warrior side as well.
This path or avatar of Obatala is known as Ayáguna (or Ajáguna). He is young, about 33 years of age. His temperament and attributes are similar to those of Shango. He wears a red sash over one shoulder, rides a white stallion, and wields a saber. This Obatala fights for and in the name of peace.
I remember him with a red sash and a straight sword, but the one I saw had literal skin of white paint, bald-headed, white eyes, a circular goatee, muscular and thick with a white cloth around his waist.
