Historical Notes

Napoleon Bonaparte[1] makes for an interesting "villain". Idealized by the French, blown larger than nature by even his opponents, he is the focus so many legends that you can write it any which way. His fulgurant career shaped all Europe. By the way, the "small man" legend is pure British propaganda, stemming from a difference between french and english measures: Napoleon was 5"2... in french feet/inches, which makes him 5"6 in english measures (1m69), which was the average size for the era.

Napoleon was all sort of things. A malingerer, an extreme misogynist in a sexist era, a logistic and military genius, a born leader, and an hypocrite and liar of the first order. He found fascination in the Roman empire - and Alexander the Great, of course.

When the Great Gates open up, Napoleon is fresh from his Brumaire Coup, which replaced the authority of the Republican Assembly by the Triumvirate, of which he was the First Consul (an idea he took from the Romans). He qualified for the Labyrinth and decided quickly to use that to propel himself ahead and seize more power.
