History

Overview

Napoléon Bonaparte was a French statesman and military leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led several successful campaigns during the French Revolutionary Wars. He was later became Emperor of France.

French Revolution

In 1798, Napoléon took his armies on a campaign into the Ottoman Empire territories of Egypt and Syria

Emperor

In 1799, General Napoléon Bonaparte became the new French ruler.

Napoleon ordered wood carver to create a wooden woman as a figurehead for his vessel but he does not want to do it, for he hates women as they scorn his ugliness. Napoleon threatens to kill him if he does not comply and so he does, surprising himself at the beauty of his creation. All these years of loneliness have made him bitter, but he has realized that he does desire the love of a woman. He is surprised when she speaks to him and professes her love, but tells him she can only do so once a week at the stroke of midnight. He stalls Napoleon to have more time with her and visits a gypsy with the notion of turning himself into wood so the two figureheads can grace Napoleon's ship together forever. He cheats the gypsy out of her payment, and when the potion works and transforms him into wood, the wooden woman transforms into human. She tearfully informs him that the gypsy was there earlier in order to pay him back for cheating her. She leaves, but hopes the gypsy will someday reverse the spell upon him.

Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815)

He led his country in the conquest of much of Europe, including Belgium, only a few years after their independence in 1789 (who had been inspired by the French Revolution).

1815: Defeat

He was finally defeated in 1815.

Legacy

France returned to be a monarchy, until Bonaparte's nephew Louis Napoléon became president of the Second Republic in 1848, proclaimed himself emperor a few years, and was eventually exiled in 1871.

During World War II, Magar the Mystic summoned the spirit of Napoleon (among others) to help defeat the German army in a battle in France.

Ares, the God of War, kept some of Napoleon's medals as part of his collection.
