The Haitian Assassins were the Brotherhood of Assassins located in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, formed during the mid-18th century.
History
In 1732, François Mackandal officially became Mentor of the Haitian Brotherhood. He contacted Agaté, Baptiste and Jeanne slaves from a plantation in Saint-Domingue. Mackdandal taught them how to read and write, in addition to teaching both Agaté and Baptise the art of creating poisons, as well as combat and weaponry. While Agaté was in love with Jeanne, Baptiste looked down upon her, causing friction between the two.[1]
By 1738, Agaté and Baptiste were officially inducted into the Brotherhood. Having discovered the violent ways of the Brotherhood, Jeanne decided to stay behind at the plantation. With Agaté and Baptiste under Mackandal's wing, the three fought alongside each other for many years.[1]
At some point, Mackandal became aquainted with Antó, a Carribean Assassin and Kingston Bureau leader. Antó offered his services to help liberate slaves in the hope of strengthening the Maroon cause. Mackandal rejected his aid, and claimed that Antó's Mentor Ah Tabai was too "soft".[2]
During the Haitian Revolution, the Assassins largely supported the Haitian 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.[3]
