Napoleon Bonaparte (15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821) was a Corsican military and political leader who ruled first as the First Consul of France from 1799 to 1804, then as Emperor from 1804 to 1815. He rose to power amidst the chaos and political turmoil of the French Revolution.
In 1792, Bonaparte infiltrated Palais des Tuileries in order to acquire an Apple of Eden that had been placed in a chest and hidden in a secret vault by Louis XVI of France in the latter's study. Bonaparte successfully retrieved the artifact with the help of the Assassin Arno Dorian. However, Dorian was oblivious to Bonaparte's finding the artifact as the latter quickly pocketed it as soon as Dorian turned around from the letters he was holding. The two then escaped the Palace with the help of Bonaparte's soldiers.
In September 1792, Napoleon assisted Arno in finding a Templar under his command, Frederic Rouille, whom Napoleon had unsuccessfully tried to transfer to a far-off garrison. Rouille's assassination did not hurt Bonaparte's reputation or the people of France, and only the Templars suffered.
For the next few years, he had a successful career during the siege of Toulon, the crushing of the 13 Vendemiaire uprising in Paris, an invasion of Italy and Egypt, and an upsurge in popularity. In 1799, in the Brumaire coup, Bonaparte seized power for himself as "First Consul", soon to become the Emperor of France. However, the last remaining royalists of the 13 Vendemiaire coup, led by a one-eyed royalist left wounded by cannon fire in the coup, plotted against him with "The Infernal Machine". The Assassins were able to kill all of the snipers that fired on Napoleon's carriage as he headed to the opera in December 1800, and they also found out about the conspirators in the coup. The Royalist leader was killed, and Napoleon's life was saved. [1]
Napoleon was First Consul of France during the last few years of the Haitian Revolution as well. He saw Toussaint Louverture as a threat, and sent Charles Leclerc to remove him from power, as well as giving him orders to reinstate slavery in the colony. He succeeded, but later in the war, French troops were forced out of Saint-Domingue.[2]
