Napoleon's most influential quality would have to be his ambitious nature. This is what allowed him to accomplish all he set out to do more than anything else. He also had a much higher than average intellect. Napoleon was extremely courageous, even on the battle field. One time he calmly rode his horse over an explosive device so that he wouldn't be killed. He was extremely perceptive, and was renowned for sizing a situation up with a quick glance and in a few words. He was very curious, and always wanted to know every little detail about everything in the running of his country - down to the amount of each goods being bought. He could recall all this information easily and at will, something that continually surprised and impressed those around him.

As far as personality goes, he is full of contradictions and this fact is a big reason why, even today, historians have trouble figuring him out. He was often quite playful with children, to the point of childish ridiculous. He could be extremely generous, but hated to be thanked when he gave someone money. He could at times be very gentle and forgiving - yet, at other times he could be cold, stern and completely unforgiving. He had a renowned sense of humor, and often joked with his troops, a fact that endeared him to them.
