Nappa has been Vegeta's aide since Vegeta was very young. He's quite a roughneck, even for a Saiyan. As an elite warrior from a noble family, he served as an aide for the royal family. However, though he's an elite of Saiyan society, he had no significant position among Freeza's subordinates.

He comes to Earth with Vegeta, searching for the Dragon Balls. When they arrive, he destroys an entire town as a greeting. He has the Saiyan aggressiveness and love of destruction.

In the battle with the Z-Senshi, who were protecting the Earth, he showed an overwhelming power that easily defeated Tenshinhan, Chaotzu, and Piccolo. Eventually defeated, Nappa is tossed at Vegeta's feet by Goku. As a punishment for his failure, Nappa is quickly thrown in the air by the Saiyan Prince, as a Saiyan who can't move is "useless" to him, according to Vegeta. After he begs Vegeta for his life, Nappa is ultimately destroyed by Vegeta's energy blast known as the Galaxy Breaker technique in Japan. Upon entering the Afterlife, he joins Raditz after being sent to Hell by Enma-daio.

In an anime only flashback, Nappa, along with Raditz and Vegeta return from their conquest on Planet Shikk. However, they are met with insult rather than congratulations by Dodoria, Zarbon, and Freeza. Nappa nearly loses control and tries to attack Freeza along with Zarbon and Dodoria, but Vegeta orders his comrade to stand down, knowing that they wouldn't stand a chance against them.

During the Androids and Cell Sagas, Goku's fight with Nappa is shown to be one of the times Dr. Gero has been tracking him. Also, when Cell explains his origin to Piccolo, he says Dr. Gero collected cells from Nappa to help create him.

In the Kid Buu Saga, Nappa makes an appearance in a flashback of when Vegeta and Goku first met. Also in the Super 17 Saga, he escapes from the Afterlife and goes on a rampage above ground where Vegeta kills him again.

Nappa has quite a destructive personality and loves demolition to an extreme level. When arriving on Earth, the first thing he asks Vegeta is if he can destroy a town. When taking time off to wait for Goku (in the anime only), Vegeta allows him to destroy as many things and places as he wants, as long as he doesn't waste enough energy to break a sweat. Nappa proceeds to demolish an entire Navy fleet division as well as an aerial raid, smashing through many jets and helicopters before leveling a slew of ships. He also has a very cocky personality, as he enjoys toying with his opponents. This shows his dark humorous side as he sometimes tells himself crude jokes when he's alone and laughs at them. He tends to fight first and makes use of his brawn more so than his brain. However, his great ego would immediately vanish the second someone causes him a bruise or scar, and would decide to kill them slowly and painfully as a result.

 He is, in this instance, vain to the extent that he feels his appearance should remain unscathed. However, he would still eliminate anyone as quickly as possible when losing patience with them. Often times, he allows his anger to get the best of him, becoming extremely enraged and infuriated as a result, which results in Vegeta constantly reminding (or ordering) him to calm down.
