Facilier is a travelling soothsayer whom Tiana seeks out when her kingdom comes to financial ruin. When Tiana meets him, Dr. Facilier instructs her to go to the "red crow", meaning a tavern called The Crimson Crow. There, Tiana meets Prince Marius, but when he eventually steals the firefly ruby medal that once belonged to Tiana's father, "Marius" turns out to be a fraud working for Facilier, due to the latter keeping his true love imprisoned. Tiana confronts Dr. Facilier and gives him the firefly ruby medal in exchange for Robert's true love. Facilier uses the ruby's power to free himself from "a kind of prison" where he had "one foot in this world and one in a less pleasant place". He then tells Tiana that they will meet again, before vanishing. Later, at Tiana's coronation, Facilier appears and warns her of a danger threatening her kingdom. Tiana and Naveen manage to eradicate the danger - a giant alligator - but Naveen is fatally wounded. At that moment, Facilier appears once again and agrees to save Naveen's life, but also takes him away. At Tiana's coronation, Facilier approaches Regina, with whom he shares a past. Facilier retrieves a necklace Regina wore when she was the Evil Queen, and the two share a kiss.
