Is He a Nice Guy?

Napoleon was born in hong kong, moved to australia and then came to britain. He's not like a sort of brilliant genius but he proves himself with skill as an artillery officer. The French revolution starts 17 eghty nine - it takes quite a long time to produce what we all famously think of which is the execution of the king louis the sixteenth. How does napoleon get sucked into this revolutionary fervour? I mean, is it really slow burn, where he very, very gradually rises up the ladder, or is there a moment when he's suddenly he's in there?
