"I seek liberty and freedom, not for myself, but for those whom such fundamental rights are denied."

―Aveline de Grandpré speaking of justice.

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

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. As she grew, she became an opponent of slavery, with her father's love, wealth and status protecting her from repercussions. She was inducted into the Assassin Order in 1759 by Agate, and at some point in time, she encountered the Native American Assassin, Connor Kenway.

Equipment and skills

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

Her fighting style included dual-wielding various weapons, including a whip, cleavers, firearms, swords, knives, a blowpipe, a sugar-cane machete and Hidden Blades.

Asides from her weapons, Aveline possessed three outfits she could use. The Assassin outfit aids in combat and navigation, but makes her notorious. The Servant outfit allows her to blend in to the poorer masses of New Orleans and allows her to remain undetected. Finally, the Aristocrat outfit makes Aveline highly noticeable but allows her to use her charm to achieve her goals.

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. 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.

Trivia

• Aveline is the first female protagonist in the Assassin's Creed series, and the only playable character to wear a hat instead of the symbolic white hood of the Assassins, though it retained a beak-shaped tip.
• Like previous Assassins of the Order, Aveline's motif was that of a bird:
  • "Aveline" was a name of French and Latin origin, presumably originating from the Germanic name "Avelina." In Latin, Aveline as a name derived from "Avis," which translated to "bird."
  • "Grandpré" was a French surname meaning "grand meadow."
• Aveline possessed a scar on her upper lip, identical to that of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Desmond Miles, despite not having any known connections to them.
