You sure hit the nail on the head when you said Tesla was an odd character. Yes, he did experiment with transmitting electrical power without wires.
Tesla did work for Edison but was not given money promised to him and Edison basically wouldn't pay any attention to Tesla's work so he left the employment.
Tesla and Westinghouse to a point harnessed Niagara. Tesla was promised a cut from the sale of all power generated and was on the way to becoming a rich man when he was basically pushed out of his agreed to contract.
Tesla wasn't from Russia and didn't return there. He was born in Croatia and he died in New York City after having lived there many years.
Federal agents did seize his intellectual property as many of us have read because he was an alien, i.e. without U.S. citizenship. The Feds did copy all of the material.
Years later the papers were released to Tesla's heir, with all material shipped to Yugoslavia where today all material is in the Tesla Museum and is available for research.
The book "Empires of Light" featuring Tesla, Edison, and Westinghouse is a very interesting to read.
