You got Napoleon Bonaparte!
A rags to riches story of the most extreme variety, your humble origins gave none the notice of the storm you can muster. As a general, you made yourself famous, so famous, that you named yourself Emperor of France and conquered nearly all of mainland Europe. The other powers in Europe had to gang up to stop you, unsure if you could ever be defeated. And you were, then you came back, mustered thousands of troops to your call and fought for another hundred days, then lost again. Only two losses. Ever. Not Bad.
