Biography
On 5 October 1795, an army of twenty-five thousand Royalists staged an uprising in order to restore the French monarchy. However, they were opposed by Napoleon and five thousand troops under his command, and defeated by the use of artillery. The Royalist leader was scarred and blinded by grapeshot, but managed to escape custody.
On 24 December 1800, the leader amassed the remainder of his men in an attempt to assassinate Bonaparte while he was attending an opera. He placed several snipers in the buildings along the route taken by Napoleon's carriage, and planned to used an explosive device known as 'The Infernal Machine', should the gunmen fail.
The snipers were killed by the Assassin Arno Dorian, who sought to prevent the royalists from returning to power. 'The Infernal Machine' detonated too early as well, far away from Napoleon's carriage. With the failure of the assassination, the Royalist leader planned to flee from Paris, but was tracked down and killed by Arno before he could attempt his escape.
