Across works, bald people, in the rare times they even appear in a work, will often occupy a leadership position. Perhaps it's because bald people seem wiser than their full-head-of-hair-having counterparts, making them naturally come off as a Reasonable Authority Figure. Or, and this would especially be the case when Asskicking Leads to Leadership, maybe it's due to baldness being perceived as inherently tough, with bald people naturally embodying the kind of resilience and fortitude desired from an effective leader. Most likely this is just art imitating reality, given that older people tend to occupy positions of authority in society (due to having more experience) and older people (men in particular) are more likely to be bald than younger people. It also seems likely to have come from, in part, the practice of ancient Egyptian pharoahs to shave their head bald when they ascended the throne. Even still, there are quite a few fictional leaders across genders and ages that are bald because of this trope. Whatever the reason, the proof is in the examples: if they show up in a work and there's a group, team, or organization to be led, a bald character will often be The Leader of it. And by bald, we do mean bald: no "balding" or partial baldies here, complete chrome domes, only. This can apply to any kind of leader, whether they are a leader of an entire country, a battalion, a precinct, or are the head manager of a home goods store. What matters is not just the formal position they occupy in a group or organization, but also that they are treated by those around them as the main person to defer to for leadership, direction, agenda setting, and commands. Bald leaders who have Authority in Name Only are subversions of this trope. And remember: leaders can be morally and ethically good, evil, neutral, and everything in-between; this trope can and often does overlap with Bald of Evil. For bald characters who don't necessarily lead a group, but use their wisdom and enlightenment to provide guidance and advice in a more Mentor Archetype way, see Bald Mystic. For headwear that serves a similar purpose, see Hat of Authority. No Real Life Examples, Please!, as this is a characterization trope. |

Dragon Age: Shartan, the leader of the elves that aided Andraste in her rebellion against the Tevinter Imperium in the franchise's lore. His Temple of Sacred Ashes spirit appears bald, and in Inquisition the player can find some murals that depict him as bald, as well as codices that imply he modeled himself off of ancient elvhen freedom-fighting folk heroes who also had bald heads. Likely the legacy of Fen'Harel, or Solas. Clarel de Chanson is the bald Warden-Commander of Orlais who appears in the Adamant Fortress missions in Dragon Age: Inquisition. She's a deconstruction of The Unfettered nature of most Wardens, with a single-minded determination to oppose the Blight, even if that means sacrificing her subordinates to summon demons to fight them. |

X-Men: Charles Xavier is a Chrome Dome Psi and the original founder and first leader of the eponymous group. As the leader of the X-men and the headmaster of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, he's idealistic, empathetic, paternalistic, and a perennial Mentor Archetype to every student. Depending on the adaptation, how he became bald changes, but most describe it as a consequence of him developing his abilities as a teenager. | |

Bleach: Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto is the late Captain of the First Squad and Captain-Commander of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads and the uncontested most powerful person in Soul Society, having gotten his position centuries ago by simply destroying all rival factions. His baldness is in part justified by his old age, as in his younger days, he did have hair. But even then, it was styled such that the top of his head was completely bald with the hair only growing on the sides. Ichibe Hyosube is the bald leader of Squad 0, also known as the Royal Guard, which is tasked with protecting the Soul King, the Royal Palace, and the Royal Family. He was the one who gave everything related to shinigami and Soul Society its names. In line with his position as an authority figure, he has the power to manipulate and control people and objects once he learns their true name. |

In Chuck, "Big Mike" Tucker is the bald, black manager of the Buy More—though he's really more of a figurehead as he's about as interested in doing any work as the rest of the staff (i.e. not very) and so it's Chuck who ends up doing most of the actual leading, in between saving the world, or the series of evil assistant managers. | |

Attack on Titan: Dot Pixis is the completely bald commander responsible for the entire Southern territory within Wall Rose. Despite his eccentric personality, he's one of the few people willing to listen to Eren instead of killing him on the spot after Eren transforms publicly for the first time. Keith Shadis is the bald instructor of the Southern Branch of the Trainee Corps and former commander of the Survey Corps. Despite his stint as commander ending disastrously, no one seems to hold it against him besides Hange, who criticizes his defeatist attitude. |

Star Trek (2009): Played with Nero, captain of the Romulan mining vessel Narada, who sports a bald tattooed head along with every other crewmember.note The Star Trek: Countdown prequel comics explain of a Romulan tradition that, when a loved one dies, Romulans tattoo themselves. As the ink fades over time, so does their grief. However, in this case, after Romulus was destroyed, the ink was deeply embedded so that it never fades and they never forget everyone they've lost. Played straight with Captain Robau of the USS Kelvin in the prologue. | |

Ultimate Marvel: Ultimate Nick Fury, who was explicitly based off of Samuel L. Jackson with his permission, and played by him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Fury is white and has hair in mainstream continuity, although a version of Samuel L. Jackson's Fury was later introduced as his son.) Fittingly, the artists started depicting him with a shaved head around the same time that he became the leader of The Ultimates; in his first appearance in Ultimate X-Men, when he was still a S.H.I.E.L.D. field agent, he had a fade haircut.note Surprisingly enough, he wasn't always modeled after Samuel L. Jackson | |

Roy in The Order of the Stick is black in a family of bald men and the leader of his team, although he's a bit more hammy and much more snarky than usual examples of this trope. The King of Nowhere also qualifies, from what we see of him in a flashback panel (which is among the reasons Roy was confused with him at one point). | |

Persona 5: The Big Bad of the main game, Masayoshi Shido is a dark take on this, combining it with Bald of Evil. He's a politician who's running to become the next prime minister of Japan so he can rule the country with an iron fist and shape it to fit his distorted vision. He believes he and he alone is the only one with the will capable of steering Japan in the right direction and is willing to cheat, lie, and kill his way to ensure power. He also will abuse his power to ruin the lives of anyone he perceives as challenging his authority and will to do what he pleases as he pleases, something Joker (and the player) learns immediately as Shido is the one who fabricated a false assault charge against Joker when Joker tried to keep Shido from sexually assaulting a woman in the street. Put simply, he's a proto-authoritarian leader in need of the position to fully exercise the authority he believes is his right. Ironically, Shido is just an Unwitting Pawn for the Greater-Scope Villain who's really pulling the strings that put the game in motion. The egg-head shaped Principal Kobayakawa is a subversion, since despite being the one in charge of the school, he's a lower ranked member of the Antisocial Force that's trying to get Shido elected, and as such he takes his orders from the SIU Director, who's taking his orders from Shido. Naturally, when Kobayakawa fails to uncover the identity of the Phantom Thieves who very obviously started at his school, Shido shows just how little authority Kobayakawa has by having him killed. |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation: Jean Luc Picard is one of the most iconic examples of the trope as the bald, diplomatic, compassionate, captain of the Enterprise-D. It is indicated that he has undergone male-pattern baldness somewhere in his late-twenties to early-thirties as he is depicted with hair in his younger years as an Ensign, when he was much more brash and arrogant. His present baldness helps to underscore how he has grown considerably Older and Wiser over the years. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Starting with season 4 of the series Captain Benjamin Lafayette Sisko is very much this when he also goes completely bald.note He would have been much sooner had studio executives allowed him to. |

Rugrats: Save for a few strands of hair, Tommy Pickles is completely bald and the de facto leader when he and the rest of the babies go on adventures in the show, often deciding what the plan is for each episode. He's also shown to be the bravest of the group, being the first to charge into the unknown or stand up against Angelica, who often bullies them. His baldness is justified, as he's a literal baby who has yet to fully grow hair, but it remains noteworthy since he's the only one (until his younger brother Dill is born) of the kids to be bald. | |

He is shown to be the most responsible and level headed of the group. This not only doubles as Delinquent Hair given the band's punk rock aesthetic, but helps to further emphasize Yasu as a Foil for Takumi, the Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk leader of rival band Trapnest, who has long black hair. | |

Excalibur: Downplayed. The bald Sir Leondegrance, played by Patrick Stewart, gets his shot to pull Excalibur from the stone and become king at the start of the film and fails. Arthur successfully tries afterwards. While everyone debates whether or not to make Arthur king, Leondegrance immediately pledges his allegiance to Arthur. However overwhelmed by the fighting, Arthur falls into a deep sleep. When he awakens, Leondegrance is king, but Arthur soon replaces him after he helps Leondegrance in battle and marries his daughter Guinevere. | |

Babylon 5: The Centauri emperor Turhan is bald and is characterized as a Reasonable Authority Figure, having dedicated his life and reign as emperor in fixing the damage his family and the Centauri has inflicted, with his last act being a public apology for those crimes. This is emphasized by his character not wearing the traditional Centauri peacock wig, which is used to denote power and status, instead laying his bald head bare. | |

Gates is the most senior member of the crew and serves as the Walrus's Quartermaster, i.e. the elected representative of the crew's interests for practicality, understanding of the crew's needs; he'd arguably be the better choice for The Captain.

Across most Superman works, his Arch-Nemesis Lex Luthor is almost universally a bald, highly intelligent Villain with Good Publicity. In fact, be it coincidence or deliberate, his hair is often a measure of his morality — Lex Luthors like the one from Superman: Earth One and La Résistance member from Superman Vol 2 #21 are good guys and have heads full of hair, while Lex from Smallville lost his hair at the beginning of his Start of Darkness. He is also the CEO of his own company, Lexcorp, and in many versions, practically has half of Metropolis under his control, as he has built many of the establishments, and countless citizens work for him whether they know it or not. He also was briefly President of the United States. | |

Sword Art Online: Agil is tall, bald, black and has a goatee. He's one of Kirito's trusted friends while trapped in Sword Art Online and fights as well as he looks with a large battle-axe. In real-life, he owns a bar. He was once the de-facto leader of a group of tank players who fought on the front lines separate from the Aincrad Liberation Squad and Dragon Knights Brigade, in the earlier days of SAO. | |

The Matrix: Morpheus is the bald, captain of the ship "Nebuchadnezzar", a ship named after King Nebuchadnezzar II of the Neo-Babylonian empire, who is considered the empire's greatest leader, underscoring how great of a leader Morpheus is. Morpheus's great leadership comes primarily from his wisdom, spirituality, and unwavering faith in Neo being "The One". | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Basque Grand is the bald, Brigadier General during the Ishval War. He's shown to be a Reasonable Authority Figure, killing the former Brigadier General Fessler and taking his spot when it became clear Fessler was a General Ripper who didn't care about the high deaths of his own men and was about to call for the slaughter of surrendering Ishvallan civilians. Mind you, in the 2003 anime, he himself was a General Ripper. | |

The King and I: Invoked. The King's original Broadway actor, Yul Brynner, had his head shaved at the makeup artist's recommendation. Brynner carried this trope on into the movie, and bald kings are featured in several of the revivals for the musical and adaptations in other mediums. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Jean Luc Picard is one of the most iconic examples of the trope as the bald, diplomatic, compassionate, captain of the Enterprise-D. It is indicated that he has undergone male-pattern baldness somewhere in his late-twenties to early-thirties as he is depicted with hair in his younger years as an Ensign, when he was much more brash and arrogant. His present baldness helps to underscore how he has grown considerably Older and Wiser over the years. | |
