Oh gee, you are so very close and still missed.

The little man is really Napoleon. He did not come from Elba though. He was just banished there for about a year, until he decided to return, which led to the rule of the 100 days and the battle of Waterloo. I've been on Elba three times. And I have also been to that other island I want to hear about the island Napoleon came from. Give me that island and the next question is yours.
