	Eseosa was born in [[Port-au-Prince]] in 1757 to an {{Wiki\|Edo people\|Edo}} mother and [[Babatunde Josèphe]], a Haitian of {{Wiki\|Yoruba people\|Yoruba}} descent. By 1776, Eseosa had rebuilt and reformed the Assassin Brotherhood in Saint-Domingue.

He hoped to succeed where [[François Mackandal]]'s Assassins had failed, in creating a nation where black and white [[Civilians\|citizens]] lived alongside one another.

	He recruited [[Georges Biassou]], [[Dutty Boukman]], and [[Toussaint Louverture\|Toussaint Bréda]], for whom Eseosa arranged to be freed from slavery, to accrue resources for the Assassins. He also sent a request for help to [[Guillaume Beylier]], a member of the [[~~French Assassins~~]], but Beylier responded that with their own problems brewing, they were unable to send reinforcements.

	By 1791, as the revolution commenced, Toussaint, using the training Eseosa gave him, took command of Biassou's troops. However, their fellow commander [[Jeannot Bullet]] massacred white and mulatto [[civilians]], violating [[the Creed]]. Biassou and [[Jean-François Papillon]], the third commander appointed by Boukman, captured Bullet, and Eseosa sentenced him to death.

	Two years later, Eseosa acted as trainer for Toussaint's men, and maneuvered him into the position of leadership by secretly instigating violent uprisings only his men could subdue. The year after, the [[French Revolution\|Revolutionary]] government abolished slavery, but Eseosa and Toussaint's work was not over, as the [[British Empire\|British]] and [[Spanish Empire\|Spanish]] tried to claim Saint Dominigue: Papillon and Biassou sided with the Spanish, leaving Eseosa saddened.

	By 1801, after ridding themselves of the [[Templars\|Templar]] governor [[Jean-Louis Villatte]], Toussaint became absolute ruler of Saint-~~Dominigue~~.

	[[Napoleon Bonaparte]], First Consul of France, saw Toussaint as undermining his authority, and sent General [[Charles Leclerc]] to remove him from power.
