| '''Baptiste's Acolytes''' were a cult of former [[Africa]]n [[Slavery|slaves]] operating under [[Baptiste]], an escaped slave from [[Haiti|Saint-Domingue]]. Baptiste's followers operated throughout the [[Louisiana Bayou]], attempting to overthrow the regime of the local smuggler group, which was headed by [[Élise Lafleur]] and [[Roussillon]].

| ==History==
| |
| After the death of Baptiste's [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Mentor]] [[François Mackandal]] in 1758, his brother [[Agaté]] left Saint-Domingue for [[Louisiana]]. Feeling betrayed, Baptiste gave up on the Assassin Brotherhood and formed his own Maroon society, pretending to be François Mackandal himself.
| |
| | |
| By 1766, Baptiste had formed an alliance with the [[Templars|Templar Order]] in Louisiana in hopes of joining them. As a result, Baptiste's followers were tricked into serving the Templars' goals. In 1766, Baptiste and his followers were plotting to murder the nobles of [[New Orleans]] to avenge the local slaves, and were thwarting the local smuggling ring's efforts in the bayou area.
| |
| | |
| During a ceremony on the Eve of Saint John in 1766, the Assassin [[Aveline de Grandpré]], trained by Agaté, killed Baptiste and effectively forced the cult's disbandment. A few holdouts remained active throughout the bayou, who were later exterminated by Aveline on the advice of smuggler Roussillon.
