Who is Soliman?

Soliman is an attendant on Pauline Bonaparte while she is in the Caribbean. He becomes her masseuse, and there is a constant sexual tension between them. When Pauline's husband falls ill, Soliman uses voodoo practices to ward off plague. After Pauline leaves, Soliman becomes a member of the court of King Henri Christophe, and after the king's death, he flees for Rome with the queen and princesses. There, Soliman becomes famous among the locals, who enjoy hearing him tell embellished stories of his adventures. While drunk, Soliman runs across a statue of Pauline Bonaparte, and he becomes overwhelmed by the memories of Pauline from her time in the Caribbean.
