Aveline de Grandpré was a Creole Assassin of French and African heritage, who lived in the area of New Orleans, at the end of the French and Indian War.[1] She was mentored by Agate, with whom she had a conflicting relationship.[2]

Biography

Aveline was born to a wealthy French merchant and an African placée bride, and occupied a position of wealth and respect within the city. She was raised with care and privilege, even after her mother mysteriously vanished and her father had remarried.[2] She joined the Assassin Order in 1759. [3]

Equipment and skills

Aveline was a skilled freerunner, who was able to navigate through the urban cityscape and natural landscape, such as the Bayou, with ease.

Her fighting style included the use of various weapons, such as a whip, firearms, swords, knives, a blowpipe, a sugar-cane machete and hidden blades, with her possessing the ability to dual wield various combinations of them.[2]

Personality and characteristics

As she grew, Aveline developed into a strong-willed young woman who began to notice the contrasts within society, like freedom and enslavement, or wealth and poverty. Much like Connor, she was torn between the different values that she had inherited from her parents, and as such, she formed her own, which included a vehement stance against slavery.[2]

Trivia

  • Aveline's name originates from the Latin name "Avis" – meaning "bird".
  • Aveline is the first female protagonist in the Assassin's Creed series, who was also the only protagonist to wear a hat instead of the symbolic hood of the Assassins, though it retained a beak-shaped tip.
  • To date, Aveline is one of two Assassins who has mixed heritage, with other one being Connor Kenway, who was half Native American and half British.
