Moses was a well respected Egyptian, he was even adopted into the Egyptian Royal family.
When reading Exodus with an open mind, it makes more sense to me to think as Moses as a rebellious leader. He obvioulsy knew how to be a good speaker, he led an army of Hebrews and consulted with the pharoah on many occasions. Moses also knew the Egyptian terrain, outsmarting the pharoah by moving his followers across a stretch of the Red Sea (or Reed Sea, depending on translation) that is only passable during low tide.
