He belonged to a class of slave known as creoles,
Creoles doesn't mean a 'class' of enslaved., it means born in the Colonies. At times it applied primarily white French folks born outside of France
At some point and in some places Creole refers to Black folks with descent from both France & West Africa.
Or so I understand. Many of the definitions are place & time contingent.
I also think Spain had similar designations.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
