Biography

Early life

Augustin was born into slavery in 1701, baptized Catholic in accordance with the Code Noir, and sold away from his mother. He moved from plantation to plantation, as slave owners would leap at the chance to buy him cheaply, only to learn that he was too thin and feeble to be a useful slave.

Due to him changing hands so often, Augustin knew the habits, routines and layouts of plantations and their overseers across Saint-Domingue. Using this knowledge to plan a careful escape, he became one of the few child slaves to survive into adulthood.

At some point in his early life, Augustin became the leader of the Maroon rebellion in the area surrounding Port-au-Prince. He was driven by his faith in Voodoo, and his desire for African independence in Saint-Domingue.
