| '''Bastienne Josèphe''' (1690s – unknown) was the madam of [[La Dame en Rose]], a [[Brothels|brothel]] in [[Port-au-Prince]], during the 1730s, and a supporter of [[Augustin Dieufort]]'s [[Maroon rebellion]]. She was the mother of [[Babatunde Josèphe]], and grandmother of [[Eseosa]].

| ==Biography==
| |
| ===Early life===
| |
| Born to a prostitute at La Dame en Rose, Bastienne grew up in the brothel she would later own. When she was young, she allowed outside children to spy on the brothel's illicit activities for a price. Entering her teens, her training in reading, writing, and financial management made her an indispensable assistant to the brothel's madam. During this time, she came to understand that the business could be used for great political gain, as deal-making, scandals, and exchanges of information were common at the brothel.
| |
| | |
| Though Bastienne was at one point engaged, she ultimately forewent marriage to inherit La Dame en Rose when the previous madam passed. Her skill with finances allowed her to double the business' profits, a portion of which she used to buy the freedom of slaves in Port-au-Prince. She then began acting as an informant for the Maroon rebellion, using her [[courtesans]] to gather information on their politically powerful clients.
| |
| | |
| At some point during her time as madame, Bastienne became acquainted with the [[Templars|Templar Order]], working for them as a courier of sorts, and using the money they gave her to free slaves.
| |
| | |
| ===Meeting Adéwalé===
| |
| In 1735, she met [[Adéwalé]], an [[Assassins|Assassin]] who had been shipwrecked on [[Haiti|Saint-Domingue]] following the loss of his [[brig]], the ''[[Victoire]]''. Bastienne soon convinced the Assassin to aid the growing resistance against [[Pierre, Marquis de Fayet]], the [[France|French]] governor of Port-au-Prince. While their relationship was originally rocky, they grew close over the following years.<ref name="FC">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]] - [[Freedom Cry]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| At some point after de Fayet's death in 1737, Bastienne and Adéwalé shared a night of passion, leading to the eventual birth of a son, Babatunde, who would later become the father of Eseosa.<ref name="Letters">[https://acinitiates.com/#!/database/letters-to-the-dead/ ''Assassin's Creed: Initiates - Letters to the Dead'']</ref>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Bastienne's character is based on the historical figure of the same name, a free business woman of color who ran a brothel in French-occupied Saint-Domingue during the 18th century.<ref>[http://www.themarysue.com/game-changer-jill-murray/ The Mary Sue | Game Changer: Writer and Narrative Designer Jill Murray Talks Making Personal Games, the Importance of Communication and Researching Coffee]</ref>
