For those of you who don't know, Robespierre was the initially moderate but later extreme Jacobinist politician during the French Revolution. He was the de facto dictator, albeit checked by the "national convention" (parliament) of revolutionary France from 1793-1794 and was largely responsible for the reign of terror, though he was overthrown and executed by the parliament eventually.
The challenge is to have him not only survive but become a paranoid, authoritarian Stalinist style dictator, but with the revolutionary fervour of Mao or Lenin, devoted to transforming Europe and then the world.
I might even write a little timeline/story if this gets interesting enough.
