Napoleon is the Hale's family cat, Napoleon debut was in Season 2 in "B is for Betrayal", which Lillian named him as Napoleon. Later on, in "U is for Undivided", Lillian wishes that Napoleon would talk and when she leaves the room, Napoleon starts talking (freaking Cornelia out in the process.)
This when the Guardians discover that Lillian is the Heart of Earth and without Lillian knowing, Cornelia manages to transfer the Heart of Earth into Napoleon and bits off the Heart into Matt and Mister Huggles. This also formed the Three Regents of Earth. In "W is for Witch", Nerissa came back to Earth in order to get Napoleon on Halloween (the only time of day when a Heart can be taken by force.) Since Napoleon had most of the Heart of Earth's powers, Nerissa went on a wild chase to get him. Nerissa caught Napoleon who was really Phobos in a glamour (Unknown by Nerissa), after that, Phobos takes her Seal, and imprisons Nerissa inside of it.
In "Z is for Zenith" Napoleon helped Matt and Mr Huggles form a Glamour Zone round the Guardians and Lord Cedric to make no one notice and panic thinking a giant monster is coming to kill them. The plan worked and managed to take care of the Glamour Zone when Cedric was defeated. Most of the time, he spent most of his time with Lillian without telling her what Napoleon really does.
