Questions like this should go in Lost And Found. But I'd say Guile Hero.
Keeper of The Celestial Flame
Trying to work out the best trope for Allanon in the Shannara series. He's not quite up to Magnificent Bastard levels but maybe falls somewhere between the Chess Master and Manipulative Bastard tropes? The description I've come up is :-
"Allanon serves the greater good but has no problems manipulating people, lying to them directly or by omission, using intimidation or outright threats to get them to do what is needed and never tells them anything he doesn't think they need to know."
Any suggestions?
