'''Philippe Olivier de Grandpré''' (1722 - 1776) was a wealthy French merchant who lived in [[New Orleans]] during the time of [[Louisiana Rebellion]]. He was also the father of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Aveline de Grandpré]].<ref name="AC3L">''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>


==Biography==
===Early life===
Philippe was born in France in 1722 to a family of successful merchants. As a young man, he traveled to Louisiana in search of business opportunities and established a trading enterprise there, shipping goods from the new world to the old.<ref name="ACE">''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]''</ref>
===Marriage===
In 1744, whilst on a business in Saint-Domingue, Philippe purchased a slave named [[Jeanne]]. After returning to New Orleans, he decided to let her live within his mansion instead of in slave quarters. The two began to grow quite close and Philippe soon asked Jeanne to become his {{Wiki|Plaçage|placée}} bride. She accepted, and in 1747, Jeanne gave birth to their daughter, Aveline. Overjoyed at his newborn daughter, Philippe granted both Aveline and her mother freedom.<ref name="ACE"/>
In order to broaden his business opportunities, Philippe married [[Madeleine de L'Isle]] in 1752. Although this marriage put a strain on the relationship between Jeanne and Philippe, Aveline and her mother were allowed to stay at the de Grandpré's mansion. However, in 1757, Jeanne mysteriously vanished. Philippe was devastated, but convinced that Madeleine would raise his daughter with care and support.<ref name="AC3L"/>
In 1776, Philippe was poisoned by Madeleine after discovering the interference of the [[Templars]] in his business and the true identity of his wife as the head of the Templar Order in Louisiana.<ref name="AC3L"/>
==Characteristics and personality==
Philippe was a caring and considerate person, who treated both Aveline and her mother Jeanne with kindness and affection. A loving father, he saw to Aveline's education in business and was confident that she would develop into a woman of independent means, despite the law preventing her from inheriting his property. He was especially protective of his daughter, often voicing his concerns about her safety and always looking out for her well being.<ref name="AC3L"/>
Philippe also treated Jeanne with kindness and generosity, even though he was not required to. Once they had arrived in New Orleans, he allowed her to stay within his estate instead of in slave quarters. Upon their daughter's birth, he was ashamed to have kept Jeanne enslaved, which led to him granting both her and Aveline their freedom. Philippe was truly fond of Jeanne and Aveline, using his position with the city to protect them. It was clear that he cared deeply for Jeanne, as evidenced by his devastation upon her disappearance from New Orleans in 1757.<ref name="AC3L"/>
