Who is Napoleon Bonaparte from Red Prophet and what is their importance?

Napoleon Bonaparte is a short Corsican General sent by King Charles of France to ensure Canada's success against America, securing the wealth of the fur trade. He has a knack of making people want to serve him and be loyal to him. Those he uses it on are overwhelmed with the sense that he will enhance and enrich their lives. Napoleon seeks to rule all by soft spoken word, and praise intermingled with suggestion and coercion. He manages very well with most white men, but Ta-Kumsaw laughs at him. Ta-Kumsaw has his own agenda, and it merely happens to align itself with Napoleon's.
