The Czar Alexander, I wonder if he really died or if it was faked.

His contemporary of the same age was far more powerful than he was, in fact this contemporary made himself a "King of Kings" and summoned our person here to Imperial meetings. Our figure here actually encouraged his contemporary to do a fatal mistake which contributed to the contemporary figure's ultimate downfall.

Napoleon! Oh wait, that's not the one we have to guess...But aye, it is Franz II. I think.
"Pompeius, after having finished the war against Mithridates, when he went to call at the house of Poseidonios, the famous teacher of philosophy, forbade the lictor to knock at the door, as was the usual custom, and he, to whom both the eastern and the western world had yielded submission, ordered the fasces to be lowered before the door of science."

Yes it is Francis II of the Holy Roman Empire (or Francis I of the Austrian Empire), Francis actually encouraged Napoleon to invade Russia but believed that even by the Sixth Coalition Napoleon would have won. During the Battle of Dresden Francis, Alexander and Frederick William besieged General Saint Cyr, but when Napoleon came to reinforce him with only 30,000 men Czar Alexander wanted to retreat immediately, Francis was completely unsure and Frederick William was astonished that such a large army would retreat from just one Napoleon. This really gives you a look at Francis indecisiveness though (aside from being a hilarious event though).
Can someone rep Antipater for me?

Who Is the GREAT american patriot who shot and killed (in a honorable duel) his main political rival, the ******* on the 10 dollar bill.
He was also a 1 time vice-president, and early politician of new york.
Him being my Kinsmen has no bearing on my love of him...

I repped him
Indeed that's a good example for his hesitation. I wonder if Schwarzenberg's similar trait made Franz appoint him as the supreme commander of the Allied forces (of the Austrian army+ some allies, I mean, in difference to the Silesian and the Swedish army) in 1813, because he was similarly indecisive.

Re: Name that historical figure!
Not entirely sure why Schwarzenberg was chosen, was it Napoleon's suggestion that Schwarzenberg command the Austrian army inside of Russia?

Not as far as I can remember, I think it was Franz's own decision. But apparently Metternich intervened for him to make him supreme commander of the allied forces before the Leipzig campaign. In general, apart from a figure like Arch Duke Karl of Österreich-Teschen, Austria did not produce as many famous commanders as (e.g.) Prussia or France in the period 1714- 1815.
