Cambaceres and Le Brun were originally the other two Consuls with Napoleon as the First. These gentlemen were given largely honorary positions under the Empire.
Talleyrand, the great traitor, and Fouche, the other great traitor are interestingly enough mentioned without great distain. They weren't yet actively betraying Napoleon and France at the point in time this was published.
Chamagny and Maret are men of "little talent or information".
Caulincourt is notable for being responsible for the seizing of the Duke d'Enghein in 1804.
