Description

Villain who is intellectual and well cultural. Often to help a establish character as affably evil or a chessmaster.





Examples:





Grand Admiral Thrawn from Star Wars. This isn't a stock character trait either but a essential part of his military strategy. Not only that but is beserk button is someone destroying art.


Emperor Palpatine aka Darth Sidious. He's actor even says this is the closest thing he as to a redeemable quality.




Count Olaf in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is a Subversion



Professor Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes.

Mostly Adverted in his BBC Incarnation however.


Once Upon a Time's version of Hades. Justified has in Greek mythology Hades was not only the God of The Underworld but also the God of Wealth.

Rumpelstiltskin/ Mr Gold would probably count too.

Captain Hooks from Peter Pan is normally depicted this way.


Pirate Captains In media in general tend to be this (in contrast to there craw.)



Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time plays his own theme on the piano.


Lex Luthor depending on the writer.

His DC climactic universe Subverts it however.


Depending on the writer The Penguin from Batman is either plays it straight or subverts it.


Doctor Doom.


Sosuke Aizen from Bleach at least tries to present himself as a philosopher.


The Manga/Second Anime version of Solf J Kimblee from Fullmetal Alchemist in contrast to his first anime incarnation who was just a stereotypical Mad Bomber/Sociopathic Soldier.


Chase Young from Xiaolin Showdown.



David Xanatos from Gargoyles

This is one of the many reasons why Thrawn is the most tactically adept commander the Empire ever had. In contrasts to the staggering incompetency of so many other commanders in the Imperial military.
