The '''Louisiana Brotherhood of Assassins''', also known as the '''Assassin Brotherhood of New Orleans''', was a [[Assassin Guilds|Guild]] of the [[Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]] founded by the Assassin [[Mentor]] [[Agaté]] after the death of his own Mentor, [[François Mackandal]], and the collapse of the [[Saint-Domingue Brotherhood of Assassins|Saint-Domingue Brotherhood]]. Their primary goal was to eliminate [[Templars|Templar]] control in the colonies of New Spain, but Agaté's relocation was mainly motivated by his hunt for his former lover [[Jeanne]], who had stolen the [[Prophecy Disk]]s from him and found refuge in [[New Orleans]].

==History==
===Foundation===
In 1758, after the execution of the Saint-Dominigue Brotherhood's Mentor, François Mackandal, by the [[Templars]], the branch nearly dissolved. In the wake of this defeat, one of Mackandal's apprentices, [[Agaté]], left [[Haiti|Saint-Domingue]] in pursuit of his former lover, Jeanne, who had stolen the prized Prophecy Disks from him. Having learned that Jeanne had settled in [[New Orleans]], he arrived in Louisiana, only to lose track of his quarry as Jeanne had speedily fled Louisiana upon hearing that Agaté was nearby. Since Jeanne had a daughter, [[Aveline de Grandpré]], who she had left behind, Agaté decided to stay in New Orleans to protect her. In 1759, Aveline, who got in trouble after rescuing slaves, was saved by Agaté. Seeing Aveline's potential and her desire for justice and freedom, Agaté took her as an [[Assassin apprentice|apprentice]] and inducted her in the Assassin Brotherhood after months of training. The same year, [[Gérald Blanc]], a friend of Aveline, was also recruited by Agaté to serve as a spy and a logistician for the brotherhood. They then established a network of servants through the city to uncover the Templars' schemes.<ref name="ACL">''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>
