Character History
Early Life
Auntie Poulet was born in 1900 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It's unknown when she moved to Vice City, Florida or if she resided in Little Haiti around 1984. She appears to be wearing a yellow dress with a matching head wrap. She resides in a wooden shack in Little Haiti's center district. She meets Tommy Vercetti in 1986 and gets him to work for her by drugging him with mind-altering potions. After doing the tasks for her, Tommy shows no memory in helping the Haitians fight the Cubans. She isn't mentioned again until after Tommy helps the Cubans destroy the Haitian Drug Factory.
1986
Auntie Poulet as she appears in the game.
After Tommy Vercetti proves to Umberto Robina that he can drive a boat properly, he receives a call from Poulet telling him to come by her shack sometime for "stew". Tommy goes to her home in the center of Little Haiti and offers tea with voodoo, drugs with mind-altering effects, in it to him. She then has Tommy collect three briefcases full of drugs scattered around Little Haiti before the police do and bring the cases back to her shack. Then she has Tommy destroy the Cuban's boats using an RC plane equipped with the ability to drop bombs. Lastly, she has him snipe dead some Cubans from a distance to help her Haitians win a fist-to-fist fight, which is taking place just south of her home. Afterwords, she phones Tommy and tells him not the return to Little Haiti, if he should do so. Following Poulet's final task, Tommy helps the Cubans destroy the Haitian Drug Factory, severing all ties with Poulet and her gang. Shortly after the destruction of the factory, Poulet gives Tommy a final call, telling him that he and the Haitians are now enemies.
