The Adventures of an Emperor

Many of you have heard of me. Many of you know what I did. Many of you know what I said. But none of you know who I am.

I am an important historical figure. I took the powers of a continent and crushed them under my feet. For a decade I was the most powerful man in the world.

I rest among the ranks of other man who were called, "brilliant," "revolutionary," and "genius." Among all of the military leaders in the last thousand years, none share in my prestige.

I am remembered for my political actions, my military prowess, my philosophical ideas, and the glory I brought to the country I ruled.

But you do not know me. You know the result, the legacy that I left behind. You know what I did to leave that legacy, but you do not know why or how I came to be the man that I am.

That is what I intend to reveal to you, the man behind the legend. I am more than just General. I am more than just Emperor. I am Bonaparte.
