	In 1737, in response to the growing Maroon resistance, de Fayet began dealing out harsher punishments to rebellious slaves, and issued strict military curfews every night. Abandoning all pretense of diplomacy, he told Bastienne that any act of violence by the Maroon resistance would be responded to in kind. When Adéwalé and Augustin dismissed this warning, the French Navy scuttled a [[slave ship]] that the Maroons were about to liberate. Ultimately, this had the opposite effect of what de Fayet intended; instead of breaking the rebels' spirit, it outraged them and prompted Adéwalé to mark him for [[assassination]].<ref name=":5">''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' - ''Freedom Cry'' - [[Down with the Ship]]</ref>		In 1737, in response to the growing Maroon resistance, de Fayet began dealing out harsher punishments to rebellious slaves, and issued strict military curfews every night.

	After his troops captured a Maroon rebel, de Fayet brutally tortured him for information on the location of the Maroon hideout, burning him with a branding iron when he refused to talk.

Abandoning all pretense of diplomacy, he told Bastienne that any act of violence by the Maroon resistance would be responded to in kind. When Adéwalé and Augustin dismissed this warning, the French Navy scuttled a [[slave ship]] that the Maroons were about to liberate.
