Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie (1726 – 1765) was the French Governor of Louisiana from 1763 until his death. Living in a luxurious estate in New Orleans, he was secretly a puppet of the Templar Order and used his position to further the Order's goal of taking over the colony.

Sivert arranged for d'Abbadie to attain a position in the naval bureaucracy, as he needed eyes and ears there.

In actuality, d'Abbadie desired to keep the colony French, leading him to make a deal with the Templar Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer. They agreed that d'Abbadie would remain in power as governor of New Orleans, provided he supervised the handover of the colony to the Templars and supplied de Ferrer with slaves and vagrants for an operation in Mexico. The two men worked out the details of their arrangement at a social soirée, held at d'Abbadie's mansion in February 1765.Assassin's Creed III: Liberation – The Colony's Good
However, this meeting was eavesdropped upon by the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré, who had found out about de Ferrer's activities in New Orleans. With the conversation finished and de Ferrer having gone to enjoy the party, d'Abbadie was left alone in his office, where he was attacked by Aveline. Despite calling on his guards, the governor proved to be no match for the Assassin, who fatally wounded him with a musket. The Templar Antonio de Ulloa would replace d'Abbadie as governor in 1766.
