I like to see Lelouch as a combination of (ESPECIALLY) Hannibal Barca and Napoleon.

Hamiclar: Put your hands in the blood.
I swear.
Hannibal: I swear
Hamiclar: That for as long as I live.
Hannibal: That for as long as I live.
Hamiclar: I will be an enemy of Rome.
Hannibal: I will be an enemy of Rome.
Not at my home PC right now, so I can't get a screen shot, but in the episode where Lelouch and the Chinese guy fight, there was a similar tactic to the Battle of Cannae.
