The Haitian Assassins were the Brotherhood of Assassins located in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, formed during the mid-18th century.

History

By 1732, François Mackandal became the Mentor of the Haitian Brotherhood, made contact with the slaves Agaté, Baptiste and Jeanne, and occupied his time with educating them. Additionally, Mackandal taught both Agaté and Baptise the art of creating poisons, and trained them in combat and freerunning. While Agaté felt compassion for Jeanne, Baptise did not, which caused friction between the two.[1]

Around 1738, Agaté and Baptiste were officially inducted into the Assassin Order. Jeanne, however, having grown fearful of Mackandal's violent methods, refused to ally herself with the Assassins and decided to stay behind at the plantation. At some point, Mackandal became acquainted with Antó, a Caribbean Assassin and the Kingston bureau leader. Antó offered his services to Mackandal, in order to liberate slaves and strengthen the Maroon cause. Mackandal rejected his aid while belittling Antó's Mentor, Ah Tabai, whom he referred to as too soft.[2]

By 1751 François Mackandal came into possession of two powerful First Civilization artifacts, the Precursor box and the Voynich manuscript, which he received from Bastienne Josèphe. With them, the Haitian Brotherhood was able to discover the locations of several Precursor temples, including one located in Port-au-Prince. Mackandal dispatched one of his Assassins, a Maroon named Vendredi, to the temple in search of the Pieces of Eden.[2]

However, Vendredi unknowingly triggered the temple's defenses when he attempted to remove the artifact from its pedestal. This subsequently caused a massive earthquake which levelled the city, and caused Vendredi to be caught under the debris in the collapsing temple. Lawrence Washington, a Templar who followed the Assassin into the temple, offered to help him in exchange for Mackandal's location. Vendredi agreed, but was killed shortly after by Washington, who managed to steal the box and manuscript from Mackandal and return with them to the Thirteen Colonies.[2]

During the Haitian Revolution, the Assassins largely supported the struggle for independence. The revolutionaries were led by several members of the Brotherhood, including Toussaint Louverture and Eseosa.[3]

In 1971, the Assassins eliminated François Duvalier for his tyrannical rule over Haiti.[4]
