Story
Toussaint first appears sitting in his camp and conversating with his men. When Elk Dog arrives with his war party, he greets him and orders one of his men to translate for him. Elk Dogs demands horses and rifles in exchange for pelts he and his men stole from the Americans, but Toussaint claims that they are already branded, which makes them less valuable, and that he is only willing to trade guns and ammunition as they agreed in a deal before. After telling him that he has to honor their deal, Elk Dogs becomes angry and reveals to him that his daughter was kidnapped by two white men, while he believes that is was the americans doing, saying he is going to rescue his daughter using the horses, no matter what. Slighty scared through Elk Dogs words, Toussaint orders his men to give them five horses.

Later, Hugh Glass finds Hikuc hanged from a tree, with a sign tucked on him, stating that savages should be killed, written in French. He discovers that Toussaint and his men are camping nearby. Planning to recover Hikuc's horse from them, he waits until dawn. Shortly before he could step onto the horse, Toussaint ordered his men to bring him the girl, meaning Elk Dogs daughter, Powaqua, revealing that they kidnapped her all along and jokes that the five horses weren't for free.

Toussaint drags her to a tree and starts to rape her. Glass, who stands close as the tree is near the horses, sneaks up behind him and holds him on gunpoint. Powaqua takes Toussaint's knife out of his sheat and continues to hold him hostage, while Glass goes back to take the horse. Alarmed through the startled horse and Toussaint sudden screams, Toussaint's men suspect something is wrong and start to approach the tree. Glass shoots one of them, while Powagua runs away after she cut Toussaint's testicles of, leaving him screaming in pain. Forced to leave her behind, Glass rides away, shooting another one of the trappers in the process.

The translator arrives later, frightend, in Fort Kiowa as the sole surivor of the french trappers, saying that all others died in the attack or the journey till there, leaving Toussaint fate either to have succumbed through the blood loss or another cause of death.
