Sama Macoy, a Devaronian, held a position within the cooking team at Takodana Castle. Following the murder of the sous chef, Robbs Ely, Macoy, having been employed at the castle for several months, became a participant in a contest orchestrated by head chef Strono Tuggs. This competition aimed to identify a successor, though Tuggs' hidden motive was to unmask Ely's murderer.
