Baptiste (1725 – 1766) was the Saint-Dominguan voodoo leader of a cult of former slaves in the Louisiana Bayou. Initially, Baptiste had been an Assassin, trained alongside Agaté by their Mentor François Mackandal. However, when Mackandal was killed in 1758 and Agaté subsequently journeyed to Louisiana for personal reasons, Baptiste felt betrayed and gathered followers to form his own Maroon secret society. Later, Baptiste made a deal with the Louisiana Templars to force Agaté out of hiding, in return for a position among the Order.
