Louisiana (French: La Louisiane; Spanish: Luisiana), officially the State of Louisiana, is a southern state of the federal republic, the United States of America. Louisiana's capital is Baton Rouge, and its largest city is New Orleans.




During the Seven Years' War, the Templar Shay Cormac sent troop-filled ships to the region to help with war effort and the Templars' own interests.[3] After their initial gambit paid off, the Templars sent a second wave of troops to consolidate their success.[4]

In 1763, Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie, a secret Templar, was made Governor of Louisiana with the intention to hand over the territory to Templar plants within the Spanish government..[5] In 1765, he was assassinated by Aveline de Grandpré.[6]

In 1766, the Templars Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer and Baptiste, Agaté's former Assassin brother, plotted the takeover of the smuggling operations in the Louisiana Bayou and force Agaté out of hiding.[7][8][9] On Agaté's order, Aveline enlisted the aid of smugglers Roussillon and Élise Lafleur and assassinated Baptiste in the Bayou.[10][11]

In 1766, the Templar Antonio de Ulloa was made the first Spanish Governor of Louisiana, and the region was handed over to Spain in accordance to the Treaty of Fontainebleau two years later.[12] The Louisiana people refused to recognize Spanish rule and rose up in rebellion, which proved unsuccessful.[13]

In 1777, Aveline discovered that the "Company Man", the individual leading the Templars in Louisiana, was her stepmother Madeleine de L'Isle.[14] Upon informing Agaté of this information, he turned on his former student, believing her a traitor. Agaté failed to kill Aveline, and he committed suicide when she choose to spare his life.[15] Aveline proceeded to meet with Madeleine, feigning a defection to the Templar cause,[16] and killed Madeleine inside a church in New Orleans.[17]
