Julien du Casse (1682 – 1715) was a French arms-dealer and a member of the Templar Order who worked in the West Indies.
In 1715, Julien, Woodes Rogers and Duncan Walpole had arranged to meet with Governor Laureano de Torres y Ayala of Cuba to be inducted into the Templar Order. Rogers and Julien had been at the Governor's residence in Havana for some time when they were eventually joined by the man they believed to be Duncan Walpole - in actuality a pirate named Edward Kenway, who had assumed his identity in order to assume Walpole's promised reward.
Eventually the three were inducted into the Order by Laureano de Torres, though shortly thereafter the truth about Walpole was discovered.
Following this turn of events, Julien travelled to his Manor on Great Inagua, docking his Man O' War in the island's natural cove. Unknown to Julien, however, Edward Kenway had escaped his imprisonment and now sought Julien's Man O' War for use as a defensive structure in Nassau.
Julien was killed by the pirate, who had snuck onto the vessels rigging and struck the Templar from above.
Final words
- Edward: You remember the gift you gave me? Well it answers just fine.
- Julien: (You son of a whore!) As bold as a musket ball, and still half as sharp.
- Edward: I'm sorry about this, mate. But I can't risk you telling your Templar friends about me still kicking around.
- Julien: I pity you, (buccaneer). After all you have seen, after all we have showed you of our Order, still you embrace the life of an ignorant and aimless rogue.
Edward grabbed an amulet and chain from Julien's neck.
- Edward: What's this...?
- Julien: Is petty larceny the extent of your ambition? Have you no mind to comprehend the scope of ours? All the empires on Earth, abolished! A free and opened world, without parasites like you! (May the hell you find be of your own making.)
Trivia
- Julien is a French variant of Julian, ultimately derived from Greek ιουλος (ioulos), meaning "downy-bearded". Casse is a French word meaning "broken, cracked, bent".
