Drapeau prepared the island of Ville-Marie for the coming of his Cainite sibilings, knowing that the elitist French Toreador would never leave their ostentatious havens, let alone consider making the transatlantic voyage - as such, the lands that would become known as Montreal stood ready to be claimed by the Sabbat.

Unbeknownst to Drapeau, an infernalist called Terrence DeBouville also came along Cartier's vessel The Emerillon, but he pursued the interests of his master Metathiax, one of the 36 demons in the order Decani. Indeed, Terrence was Metathiax's host body in the mortal world, and responsible for consecrating the ground atop the island's mountain. The native Hochelaga Hurons fought valiantly against the spirit of the demon - they lost. But as plagues wiped out the village Hochelaga, the native's final sacrifice trapped the demon on the island.

Without a reliable source of sustenance, the remainder of the century proved difficult to the French Sabbat, as they had to move slowly if they were to make their escape from the continent undetected. They needed a cover for their mass exodus, and the opportunity did not present itself until Samuel de Champlain departed for the New World.

It didn't take long for the Iroquois to retaliate in significant numbers. The attack frightened the Sabbat because it happened during the day while they slept. In the aftermath of the native's attack, five of the Sabbat left the colony of Ville-Marie to stage a counterattack that would hopefully prevent the Iroquois from approaching the colony again. It was a mistake, for their quarry was prepared and the vampires were outnumbered and brutally slaughtered. Almost all of the Les Acadiens pack members were dragged down and torn limb from limb, including their leader Louis Drapeau.

History: Connaught was one of the first Sabbat to settle in the New World, following the footsteps of a fellow Gangrel antitribu named Louis Drapeau. Together they built the first Sabbat coven in the colony of Ville-Marie, known as Les Acadiens.

The Acadians provoked the wrath of the Iroquois tribes through their brutality, starting a war between this confederacy of tribes and the French colonists. However, when Connaught's pack tried to retaliate against the Iroquois, they were ambushed and gruesomely killed - all but Connaught, who remained in the colony during the whole affair, becoming the sole survivor of the original formation of Les Acadiens.

Connaught then summoned reinforcements from the Old World, but before they could arrive, Connaught had to sacrifice all of his Bratovitch servants in order to buy himself some time. Forcing his ghouls to scout the forests to preoccupy the natives, he prepared Koldunic rituals to protect himself. However, during Sunday mass, his wards were undone by unexpectedly potent surges of True Faith, and he had to rework his arts on the following nights.

When the new Sabbat arrived in Ville-Marie, they perpetuated the name of Les Acadiens, with Connaught as their Pack priest. Around 1653, he took notice of a mortal infernalist called Terrence DeBouville and decided to embrace him. Connaught placed DeBouville in a grave on the slopes of Mount Royale and never saw him emerge. Unbeknownst to the Tzimisce, his childe had been reclaimed by a powerful entity, for DeBouville had been merely a vessel for the demon Metathiax and now the creature had learned about the existence of the Sabbat in its lands.
