Following a 1958 coup attempt, Barbot became the first leader of the Tonton Macoutes, a 'National Security Volunteer Militia' that brutally enforced Duvalier's despotic rule.[2][3] After suffering a heart attack in May 1959, Duvalier named Barbot as his proxy; once he recovered he accused Barbot of trying to usurp him as President, and had him imprisoned at the notorious Fort Dimanche.
