He is syncretized with either Saint Barbara or Saint Jerome. Historically, Shango is a royal ancestor of the Yoruba as he was the third Alafin of the Oyo Kingdom prior to his posthumous deification.

He is considered to be one of the most powerful rulers that Yorubaland has ever produced, and is noted for his anger.
