Nunzio Otello Francesco Gioaccino (c. 1792, Ottoman Empire – after 1828) was a soldier and servant during the Napoleonic Wars.[1] Born to an Egyptian family in Ottoman Egypt, Otello was taken by French officials during their expedition to Egypt in 1798 under general Napoleon Bonaparte. Otello was a gift to Joachim Murat and became his servant when he was 6 years old.[1] He later became an aide and bodyguard of Murat, and a servant to Caroline Bonaparte, serving as Caroline's personal assistant in the Schloss Frohsdorf estate after her marriage to Francesco MacDonald.[3]
