Round Table - What About Terbuf?

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Okay, here we have the big AHA! moment in Napoleon's past life: a woman who meant something to him.  The question is, just how much did she mean to our resident Ladies' Man?  Illya seems to have her number immediately, he's suspicious and wary as he watches the interaction.
Was she truly the love of his life?  Was she someone who captured him for a time and then flippantly cast him off.  I mean, look who she married.  It's hard to take Clara seriously, which is probably why Illya is so suspicious of her.
What do you think?

I think Napoleon was serious about her...the final scene in the show when he's still handcuffed I think shows that. His look says it all.

In my stories Clara wanted him to give up UNCLE, but he couldn't do it. I see Napoleon as a man who keeps his word, and he gave an oath to the Command. That and a normal home life couldn't work for him back. Clara gave him an ultimatum and he chose...though I think he had some regrets after seeing her again.

I agree that Napoleon seems genuinely smitten by Clara, although I can't get over who she married in comparison to him. Of course that's the writers doing their thing, not a lot we can do about th

Perhaps Clara went for the comforts in life that her husband could give her, and Napoleon couldn't. That might have been part of the break up?
