Like other [[Mamluk]]s, Routsan was kidnapped as a child to become a slave soldier.  He was later sold as a slave in Cairo. In 1798 he was presented a young slave to General Napoleon Bonaparte in 1798, for whom Roustan served as his bodyguard until 1814.  He then married and did not follow Napoleon to his exile to [[Elba]].
