Even during Natty's days as an adventurer, he had always managed to find the most convulated, bullshit ways to escape unfavorable situations and succeed. He's done it so many times that those who followed Natalio during the "Red Revolution" wasn't surprised he had somehow managed to overthrow the Monarchy, reorganize the Sejm, and enstate a Republic within a week after overthrowing a corrupt city mayor despite heavy opposition from both the Szlachta and their Orc-men "partners" (Overlords in all but name).
Unlike his well known feat of sleeping off any devestating wound inflicted on him, not many would know of Natty's particular ability od bullshitting his way to success until the winter retreat of 703. Wherein he had managed to outmanuever an orc-men horde by simply marching his rearguard in a straight line. The horde chief believed that Natalio would use the many small branching paths leading out of the Imperion, and spread out most of his forces to cover these said paths, leaving a very small force to guard the main road, allowing Natty's tired, starving, and ammo deprived rear-guard to easily sweep it aside, allowing them to close the distance for Elke's cavalry contingent to reach them and help drive off a cossack raiding party.
It is recorded that those who were with him in the aftermath heard him mutter; "The Bonaparte of Asteron. Yeah, I can work with that." Who this Bonaparte Natalio is referring to, historians of then and today still cannot say.
