Hyacinthe was a voodoo priest who was very active in the 1791 slaves uprising in haiti. According to Alfred Metreaux, an historian, Hyacinthe distinguish himself at the battle of croix-des-bouquet and he even convince his men they should not be affraid of the canons:
Hyacinthe, qui se distingua à la bataille de la Croix-des-Bouquets, avait convaincu ses hommes qu'ils n'avaient rien à craindre des canons (...)
“ Le colonel Malenfant, qui fut présent à cette affaire, rapporte que certains d'entre eux mettaient leur bras dans l'affût des canons et criaient à leurs camarades : 'Veni, veni, moi tins bin li'. Quant à Hyacinthe, il passait au milieu des balles 'à portée des pistolets, tenant à sa main un petit fouet de crin de cheval qu'il remuait avec vitesse, criant aux Noirs : 'En avant, c'est diau, c'est diau (c'est de l'eau qui sort des canons) pas gangez peur...' ”.210
