Consummate Liar	comment	This character is not your ordinary everyday lying jerk. This is the liar so good you never, ever want to play poker with them because you'd go home without your underwear and short next week's paycheck. Obviously, this is a handy talent for a villain to have if the hero group has a Living Lie Detector, although it can also come in quite handy for a hero who needs to fool the villain for a change. For obvious reasons, it is particularly useful if the Living Lie Detector believes that their ability is working, when in fact it is not. Conversely, a more audacious Consummate Liar might make blatantly false or contradictory statements to the Living Lie Detector just to show off. Will also use Self-Serving Memory if it will suit their needs. Particularly skilled liars can sometimes even become a Living Lie Detector due to all their experiences with lies, and are thus quick to notice when others attempt to lie to them. Two common variations on Consummate Liar are: Just Too Alien: An entire race of people (usually aliens) just happen to be immune to whatever the Living Lie Detector's ability is. Often not quite as disastrous as the lone exceptional Consummate Liar, because once you figure out that the Ferengi are immune to your telepathy, you quit trying to use it on them to gather information. Note that being immune to one type of truth-telling might not make a race immune to ALL types (just because you can resist telepathy doesn't mean you can necessarily resist some kind of Applied Phlebotinum Truth Serum or good old fashion mind games). Truth Twister: A group of beings with the unusual reputation of being "unable to tell a lie." This is usually interpreted by the group as "unable to tell a LITERAL lie" — violating the spirit of the rule is just fine if you can get away with it. This usually renders them immune to most Living Lie Detector abilities or even become a lie detector themselves due to experience, but it doesn't help them for long, as they quickly develop a reputation for being able to lie without lying, resulting in no one believing ANYTHING they say. (However, the really tricky ones can exploit even that.) Examples include the Aes Sedai, and the ability of Earthsea dragons to lie in the True Speech (which is supposed to be impossible, but they manage). Vulcans are often thought to fall into this category, but in fact, they can lie; they just strongly prefer not to. When confronted with evidence of having told an untruth, the typical Vulcan response is, "I exaggerated." Liar! This trope does not apply to tricks such as the Memory Gambit or Note to Self when they are used as a defense against lie detection. In those tropes, the would-be liar must convince themselves that they are telling the truth. The Consummate Liar knows perfectly well that they are lying. May or may not actually admit, later, that I Lied. Any character who gives a Bastardly Speech has no business being anything else. Compare The Power of Acting. Contrast Bad Liar. A key trait of the Magnificent Bastard. Their diametric opposite is The Cassandra, someone who always tells the truth but is never believed.

Consummate Liar / int_11d0af1	comment	His Dark Materials: Lyra Silvertongue gained the name "Silvertongue" by being such a good liar that she easily tricks Iofur Raknison, king of the bears, despite the fact that it is impossible to lie to a bear. However, even she cannot lie to the Harpies, who call her out immediately. Mrs. Coulter (Lyra's mother) is also extremely good at lying. So good that she managed to lie to Metatron, who is very nearly a Living Lie Detector. In fact, she lies to Metatron by using her history of lying, to convince him that she will betray Asriel.

Consummate Liar / int_17293dfa	comment	Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony introduces lying as a game mechanic in trials. While every trial has at least one instance where you are required to lie in order to progress, there are optional "back routes" for those who lie at every available opportunity. In addition, The Rival character of this game (Kokichi Oma) is also a proud, self-admitted liar. His Thanatos Gambit is referred to as his "last lie", and it's a big one: it deceives even the nigh-omniscient Monokuma, and none of the students initially have any idea whether his Final Speech (that he hates the Killing Game and wants it to end at any cost) were truth or a lie either. The protagonist says he might as well be the Anthropomorphic Personification of lying.

He also manages to play with it — people know they can't trust him, so he simply factors in the not being trusted into what he says. He's literally so good that he can manipulate a person when they know who he is, that he's evil, and that he's probably manipulating them and shouldn't be trusted. In Loki: Agent of Asgard, they even befriend a Living Lie Detector (Verity Willis, who is pretty much Blessed with Suck, both because of her power and the friendship) and then successfully lie to her. She sarcastically congratulates them for the feat later.

She is such an accomplished liar that she actually managed to convince the Committee of Public Safety that she had truly renounced the Aprilist movement and was loyal only to them. In fact, she was truly loyal to the Constitution that had lain in ashes for two centuries, and used her position as a People's Commissioner to become absolutely instrumental in the Theisman coup that ended up restoring that Constitution. Oh, and she was in love with the admiral she was supposed to be reporting on. Either she lied very, very well, or she and the man she loved faced certain execution.

One character's cybernetically enhanced vision lets him see physiological changes associated with lying. That character has an underling who is completely unreadable. He has no physiological reaction to lying because he makes no _psychological_ distinction between speaking a true statement or speaking a false statement; to him, it's all just words, and the concept of honesty basically doesn't exist.

Consummate Liar / int_2a8d8e6f	comment	In Gotham, several of the villains could qualify as this: When he's still climbing the power structure of Gotham's mob, Oswald Cobblepot spends some time as a double reverse quadruple agent, and only stays alive via this talent and his ability to talk his way out of sticky situations. Jerome Valeska is able to convince two seasoned detectives that he is genuinely mourning his mother, even though he was the one who killed her, and she had abused him for years before that. Jeremiah Valeska, Jerome's twin, was able to convince their mother that Jerome tried to kill him, according to Jerome. It may have helped that Jeremiah seemed to be genuinely convinced that he wanted to kill him when they were children. As an adult, he is able to convince a young Bruce Wayne that he is freaking out due to being exposed to Jerome's insanity gas, the show's version of Joker Venom. While he was exposed to the toxin, it actually turned him into an eerily calm sociopath, so he's just combining lies with the truth and acting distressed to manipulate Bruce.

Consummate Liar / int_2ade1ae9	comment	Nobilis: Deceivers are a subset of Excrucians whose MO is to employ deception above all else. Their powers vary and GMs are actively encouraged to invent more, but standard ones include impenetrable disguises, the ability to convince a crowd of mundane humans of anything at all, and the ability to tell someone a lie which, whether they believe it or not, renders them incapable of seeing any evidence to the contrary. One canonical Excrucian named Iolithae Septimian, through the wanton abuse of Persona 5 and pseudo-Estate of "The Lies of Iolithae Septimian", is quite literally able to fool reality itself by saying something, then performing a Lesser Sacrifice to remove the quality that makes it a lie. Canonically, she made the ocean salty by telling it that it was; in the Excrucian-centric webcomic Chibi-Ex, written by the creator of Nobilis, she uses it to retroactively cancel Firefly.

Consummate Liar / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter Severus Snape is so good with the magical skill of Occlumency (hiding his thoughts) that he is able to play Double Agent against Big Bad Voldemort, despite Voldemort's fondness for Mind Probes. When he eventually kills Dumbledore, even the Order is unable to tell which side he is on. He has effectively fooled both sides of the war, making his true allegiance impossible to discern because anything he's said could have been a lie and they don't trust themselves to know it. Voldemort himself, though mostly the Faux Affably Evil teenage version of him from before he became Obviously Evil. While it probably doesn't take too much to manipulate an eleven-year-old girl, it must count for something that he feigned interest in her (for a year, while actually being bored out of his mind) so well that she was thoroughly convinced that he was her best friend. Also, after Harry's Heroic Sacrifice in Deathly Hallows, Voldemort oh-so-casually lies that "He was killed as he ran away, trying to save himself while you lay down your lives for him." And this trope probably also figured into his manipulation of Quirrell.

Consummate Liar / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files All of The Fair Folk are unable to tell a direct lie but are nonetheless famous for their duplicity because they will only honor the Exact Words and more than willing to entertain Metaphorically True with their answers. Pretty much every sane character in the series advises against making deals with them, especially Harry Dresden himself, who, in his youth, managed to get saddled with a Fairy Godmother (And no, this is not a good thing, though to Lea's credit, she's trying to be helpful). Winter Maiden Maeve eventually does gain the ability to straight-up lie from The Corruption, and takes full advantage of this by lying her ass off and getting away with it because while people are used to considering tricky and misleading statements when dealing with faeries, but a faerie telling an outright '2+2=5' lie is an Outside-Context Problem. In Grave Peril, Thomas Raith, an incubus vampire, admits to Harry that he shouldn't be believed, because "I'm a good liar. One of the best." What he suggests Harry believe instead is the situation, as presented by Thomas, natch. Turns out that despite Harry's doubts, Thomas is telling the truth. But he's not wrong about being a good liar; the only reason he managed to survive the White Court (and more importantly, his father) was to pretend to be a harmless rich idiot his entire life, despite being one of the smartest members of his family.

Anyone who engages in Reality Warping is said to be using the art of 'Lying to the Face of God', i.e. telling a story about the universe (or at least the small part you want to affect) that's so good that it temporarily overrides God's opinion on the matter.

Keeping with good Dungeons & Dragons traditions, Haley, who is already good at bluffing, downs a potion that greatly increases her bluff which means she can make any bluff check no matter the penalty. In practice, she uses this to convince guards that they can't really see them, or that they are fired, or that the guard himself doesn't exist, or that she didn't mean it when she said her father ruined her life. She is, however, unable to convince her father that Elan is a good guy because Bluff only works on things that aren't actually true. That would take a Diplomacy check. As such, any D&D player can be better at convincing people of lies than truths.

Consummate Liar / int_5fe76d21	comment	Venom: In The Trial of Venom, a crossover between Daredevil and Spider-Man, Eddie Brock's symbiote seems to have died, and Eddie convinces everyone — psychologists, polygraph operators, and even Matt (who is acting as his lawyer) — that it's dead and that he's no longer a threat. Matt even manages to get him acquitted and released on an Insanity Defense. (Hollywood Law applies here.) In truth, the symbiote is inside his body, keeping him calm and controlling his vital signs to fool the polygraph and even Matt's super-sensitive hearing, without even knowing that Matt is Daredevil. He might never have been found out unless a still-suspicious Spidey decided "just to make sure", and provoked a heated argument with Eddie, making him angry until the symbiote emerged and he gave himself away.

At least two characters (Tavi and Fidelias) have been noted as belonging to this category. It seems to come through simple practice and control - Tavi, for example, grew up in the care of a skilled watercrafter (one so good at being a Living Lie Detector that she could see through the normally impervious First Lord, Gaius Sextus), and so has been practising against one of the best since he was quite young, while Fidelias became this due to his duties as a Cursor, although he's incredibly skilled at doing so, more than most.

In practice, she uses this to convince guards that they can't really see them, or that they are fired, or that the guard himself doesn't exist, or that she didn't mean it when she said her father ruined her life. She is, however, unable to convince her father that Elan is a good guy because Bluff only works on things that aren't actually true. That would take a Diplomacy check. As such, any D&D player can be better at convincing people of lies than truths.

He's also able to lie (or half-lie, at least) when facing the Scarran heat probe on several occasions (this may simply be because humans have better heat tolerance than the Human Aliens of the setting). Emperor Staleek comments that he is immune to the probing in The Peacekeeper Wars. Chiana often thinks this of herself but is seldom successful. Scorpius himself is probably the best liar in the series. In addition to being the resident magnificent bastard.

He may or may not be an exiled spy and, while he was definitely exiled by his boss, the reason may or may not have been for killing a Gul's daughter, or letting Bajoran prisoners escape, or tax evasion, or something else. When Bashir tells him the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Garak interprets the moral as being "never tell the same lie twice". The only person capable of seeing through Garak is Odo; he works out that when Garak answers a question simply and without embellishment, he's telling the truth. After that, his instinct for knowing when Garak is lying or telling the truth becomes quite sharp. Enabran Tain, Garak's old mentor and boss and father is always impressed by Garak's skill at lying. In another episode, Odo realizes that Garak is telling the truth when he says he doesn't know who would try to kill him because if he was lying, he'd make up a much more intricate story. Q could give Garak a run for his money. The only thing we know for certain about Q is that his goals are never what he tells you they are. He's even, on several occasions, managed to deceive his fellow Q, who are, of course, just as omnipotent as he is.

It's so good that even people who know not to trust him have to admit that what he's saying is too plausible to entirely write off. He's able to lie to Aria, a woman who has held power on Omega, a space station full of Starscreams for centuries, partly by being able to tell exactly what one is planning and thinking or when they might try to move against her. The book Mass Effect: Retribution has a bit from Aria's POV where it says that she is able to read body language and tiny subconscious clues, but the Illusive Man is still unreadable because he is actually sending out a confusing mishmash of contradictory signals so that even she can't read him. The best part? Even though she realises that he is capable of lying to her, and so devotes all her considerable cunning to work out if he is being truthful, he still manages to tell her several direct lies without her realising.

Consummate Liar / int_863b7825	comment	Sir Humphrey Appleby from Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister: While he is capable of telling bald-faced lies with a straight face, his favored tactic is not to make them believable but simply incomprehensible through his copious use of doublespeak and political jargon in his often lengthy responses to simple questions. He is, as a result, extremely adverse to answering with a simple yes or no, or if he does deign to give a straight answer, he often says, "Yes... and no," followed by his usual verbose rhetoric when asked for clarification. This usually leaves the questioner more confused than before, which is precisely his intent.

A suave and smooth operator with a knack for telling people exactly what they want to hear and for backstabbing his superiors as soon as he's got no more use for them, Scirocco successfully deceives countless people as he aggressively climbs ranks in the Titans. Gilbert Durandal from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny is a politician so that's a strike against him already. It soon becomes obvious that the only time this guy comes close to telling the truth is when he's talking about the Destiny Plan ad even then it's iffy. Loran Cehack, the protagonist from ∀ Gundam, is a low-key version of this. Guin speculates that Loran is so conscientiously kind and accommodating because he's trying to make up for all the white lies and evasions he employs to keep secret that he's really a Moonrace scout who is trying to defend his Earth friends from the Moon's military forces while simultaneously trying to help the Moonrace achieve its goals of recolonizing Earth.

The other characters really shouldn't trust anything he says, unfortunately, they're often in a situation where they pretty much have no other choice but to listen to him. Turns out he even lies in JOKES: When he's reading in an airplane he knows will crash, Jack asks him how he can read in this situation. Ben replies with the joke that he assumes Jack literally asks how he can read, and says "My mother taught me". That isn't even true since his mother died giving birth to him. Later, he sarcastically gives out his star sign (Pisces) in response to a question, something that fans deduced to also be false.

Even when he says too much, he's so good at thinking of excuses that sometimes he doesn't even have to lie. In Chapter 2, he accidentally tells Sokka that he's sure Aang will be leaving the South Pole soon. He covers his tracks by saying he heard Air Nomads are vegetarian, and Sokka is quick to agree that he'd leave as soon as he could, too, if he had to live on nothing but sea prunes. In Chapter 8, when Iroh asks Alec about how he knows so muchâ€”this being the chapter after Alec shows his knowledge of how Zuko got his scar and how Zuko defeated Zhao in an Agni Kiâ€”Alec says that it was from eavesdropping in taverns where soldiers on shore leave are gossiping. Iroh seems to buy it, and Zuko definitely does: In Chapter 10, when he gapes at Ty Lee after meeting her far, far sooner than expected, he blurts out that she's beautiful. And...well, that wasn't a lie at all; it was, in fact, the main reason he was gawking for so long. Shortly afterward, he explains away his guess that she's an acrobat by noting how she moved while they ran from the storm, avoiding rocks and trees with exceptional grace. In Chapter 15, Aang, Katara, and Sokka join Alec in making Chief Arnook believe that if Hahn becomes chief after what he did to Alec, the Southern Water Tribe will declare war and the Avatar will take their side. They do this to manipulate Arnook into terminating the arranged marriage between Hahn and Yue, the latter of which is very unwilling and in love with someone who just did Alec a favor. In Chapter 35, when he calls in Jeong Jeong's favor, Pakku asks how he knew he was a member of the Order of the White Lotus, and Alec seamlessly claims he learned it from Iroh.

This leads to her managing to manipulate Yamada into killing Ishimaru before killing him herself. It was only a small verbal slip picked up by Naegi that turned the case against her. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony introduces lying as a game mechanic in trials. While every trial has at least one instance where you are required to lie in order to progress, there are optional "back routes" for those who lie at every available opportunity. In addition, The Rival character of this game (Kokichi Oma) is also a proud, self-admitted liar. His Thanatos Gambit is referred to as his "last lie", and it's a big one: it deceives even the nigh-omniscient Monokuma, and none of the students initially have any idea whether his Final Speech (that he hates the Killing Game and wants it to end at any cost) were truth or a lie either. The protagonist says he might as well be the Anthropomorphic Personification of lying.

At the climax, Scar is cornered by his enraged nephew. Scar desperately pins the blame on his own hyenas, but Simba won't have any of it. Unfortunately for Scar, the hyenas overhear and are LIVID at his betrayal. Scar's treachery is what ultimately does him in when after his defeat at Simba's paws, he finds himself surrounded by the enraged hyenas who attack their traitorous boss and literally rip him apart.

In Book 3, the Snake Lord claims that Orion doesn't care about his people and that he (Orion) caused Launa and Herk to be cripples. However, he also revealed in Book 1 that he was the one who made Herk a cripple, and let's not forget that later in Book 1, Orion directly interfered to save Herk from the Snake Lord.

He's also a very good actor, at one point acting up the role of a flamboyant ponce to such a degree that a hostile border guard fails to match him to his own physical description - they were looking for a soldier, not a campy performer.

The Practical Incarnation was a good enough liar to fool an oracle, repeatedly. Yourself. With high enough charisma, you may charm your way through many conversations and make people go really out of their way to help you, such as when you convince Stale Mary of the Dead Nations to reveal the secret of the Silent King, or most notably convince Ravel Puzzlewell, a genius, twisted evil hag, that you love her. On an occasion, your lies are so strong that they actually come to reality â€“ when you falsely introduce yourself as Adahn often enough, you'll actually physically meet the person in the inn.

Consummate Liar / int_a3b9fc57	comment	Bleach has Sosuke Aizen, a guy who's so much of a liar that his Zanpakuto (a sword shaped by your own traits) centers around illusion. He'll lie about what sort of person he is; he spent at least a century posing as a kind, mild-mannered Captain when he was pretty much the exact opposite. He'll lie about the nature of his Zanpakuto's illusions, spending a century claiming it uses water to create mirages and trick enemies into attacking each other when it actually grants him total control over all 5 senses of anybody who's [ever looked at it. He'll lie about how much he knows; he claims that he'd lost track of the Hogyoku because it was hidden in Rukia, but it was BECAUSE she had the Hogyoku that he arranged that whole Ichigo and Fishbone D with her. He'll lie about what he needs certain assets for; he made it seem like he kidnapped Orihime for the sake of awakening the Hogyoku, when the significance of her power was really just bait to divide his enemy's forces AND lead Ichigo into some more leveling-up. He'll even lie to his own dang self; when Ichigo showed up with super strength but no perceivable reiatsu, he deluded himself into thinking he'd somehow traded reiatsu for physical strength... even though this makes absolutely no sense because reiatsu and physical strength are the SAME THING for spirits (and sadly, even many readers bought this one). Presumably he was desperately trying to explain away a power he found incomprehensible, and convinced himself that even a nonsensical explanation is more plausible than Ichigo simply having completely surpassed him. It's when he starts this last type of lying that he reaches his downfall.

And just about the one thing that everyone agrees upon, Stark and Lannister alike, is that Robb and Tyrion should try trading Sansa & Arya for Jaime).

Part of this is that Cliff adheres to a non-interference clause with regards to planets that don't have space travel yet, so he's learned how to Hand Wave things in-universe. This is shown early in the game when Cliff and Fayt crash-land on a medieval planet, and Cliff claims they're engineers from a technologically-advanced country on that same world. On top of that, Cliff truthfully says that they were on their way to rescue Fayt's dad, who had been captured by an enemy country. He just lies by omission that it's an enemy that sails the stars. Fayt notes to himself that Cliff's ability to spin a lie out of thin air is quite impressive, considering Fayt had struggled to do the same thing earlier on another planet.

He never kept this promise, and Spidey fell for it several times. The Fox was a pretty convincing liar in other ways too, able to convince the landlord owners of fancy penthouses that he was a relative of the tenants, letting him stay there when the actual tenants were out of town. Eventually, it took a sort of vision involving his Uncle Ben (hard to explain) for him to realize he was seeing the Fox as a phony "father figure" and was subconsciously afraid of his disapproval. After a dangerous situation where the Fox had stolen a gemstone belonging to Doctor Doom's mother (with the furious Doom coming to get it back), Spidey finally stopped believing his lies and did turn him in.

Consummate Liar / int_bc1dc95a	comment	Pirates of the Caribbean: Pretty much all the hardcore Pirates are consummate liars who try to con one another, so much so that if a character were notoriously honest, the honest character would have the potential to become the consummate liar. Captain Jack Sparrow puts it best in this quote: On the other hand, it's pointed out that everyone assumes pirates to be this trope anyway. And while Jack is good at it, what truly makes him so effective a liar is the fact that he's telling the truth half the time, and will sometimes admit a big truth so casually that people assume he's lying. He lampshades this in the second movie. The villains, of course, get in on the half-truths, too. Beckett only gives part of the picture to Will, Elizabeth, Norrington, Swann, and even Davy Jones to get what he wants. The usually straightforward Jones strings his crew along with promises of only a hundred years before the mast, neglecting to mention that said crewmen will eventually lose their humanity and memories by the end of their sentence and they end up becoming part of the ship for all eternity. In the first film, Barbossa never actually lies, preferring instead to dance around the truth, like swearing Elizabeth would go free when he intended to maroon her. Or, less obviously, when Elizabeth guesses Barbossa needs the medallion, rather than deny it, he simply says, "Why?"

This also extends to the daemons under his command, most of which not even being aware of what their creator is using them for. The only reason he hasn't won the Great Game already is because doing so would result in having no one left to manipulate, which would ultimately destroy him. The C'tan known as Mephet'ran (aka, the Deceiver) is also no slouch. Not only did he successfully trick the entire Necrotyr race into making him and his fellow star gods bodies. He then followed that up by tricking most of them into eating each other and make him the most powerful among them. Unfortunately for Mephet'ran though, this came back to bite him when the Necrotyr turned on him and shattered him into millions of pieces, most of which then managed to convince themselves that they are the one true Deceiver and started fighting amongst each other. The Eldar laughing god Cegorach would be a god example of this, if it weren't for the fact that he and his Harlequin followers rarely actually lie in order to further their agendas, preferring instead to wrap the truth inside riddles and engage in Double Speak. The Primarch(s) Alpharius and Omegon are known for embodying their father's deceitful nature. Just about every word from either of their mouths is a lie, but they go out of their way to make it impossible to verify one way or another. Even their fellow Primarch's don't know if anything they see or hear of Alpharius is true. The Emperor of Mankind himself is one of the biggest liars in the setting. He always chooses his words and actions carefully so that whoever he's talking to only knows or believes what he wants them to. Nobody has any idea what his real thoughts or goals are on anything thanks to this. Not even his closest confidants like the also deceitful Malcador could be said to really understand him. Speaking of Malcador, the Sigillite himself is only slightly below his liege himself in deceit. While he's perfectly upfront with the Emperor, anyone else is fair game for manipulation. Despite being (mostly) human, he's able to string along nearly anyone, including the various transhuman demigods around him, as needed. All while hiding just about any details about himself. There's a reason he ended up founding three of the deadliest and secretive factions in the Imperium: the Grey Knights, the Inquisition, and the Assassin Orders.

While this is mostly demonstrated by his claims to be incredibly wealthy to enhance his standing at court, on one occasion he tells Percy that "An enormous hummingbird is about to eat your hat and cloak!" Not only does Percy believe it, when he returns, he simply decides that it must have got away. He's so good that even a drunken monk lurching into the room, puking in the fire and shouting "Great booze-up, Edmund!" in front of his deeply religious aunt can be explained rationallynote For the curious, Edmund claimed that the monk was a missionary friend traveling with a tribal leader known as "Great Boo", and both of them had been bedridden with colds (explaining the vomiting); he came into the room to let Edmund know that "Great Boo's up."

Indeed, the Doctor has a constant habit of withholding the truth from others if it means keeping them safe or furthering a goal. This is especially pronounced with certain incarnations. In the earliest stories, the First Doctor regularly lied to others out of a mix of paranoia and egotism. Later, the Seventh Doctor regularly lied as part of his characterization as The Chessmaster, actively manipulating even his companion, Ace, if it meant protecting the greater good, while the Eleventh Doctor regularly lies as a way of running away from his constant guilt and self-loathing. Clara Oswald once explicitly describes herself as a "brilliant" liar.

Consummate Liar / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm has a couple of variants. Clint, Natasha, Loki, Odin, and Bucky are also examples of the classic Consummate Liar version. Additionally, the Fae, being physically unable to lie, are masters of the Truth Twister variant - but Doctor Strange, also famous for never lying, leaves them all in the dust. As is repeatedly pointed out, being truthful is not, by any means, the same as being honest. Harry becomes one in the sequel, primarily thanks to exposure to Natasha, Loki, and Strange, and a need to maintain what he later terms "operation security". He's a mixture of the classic version, being capable of coming up with entirely plausible lies on reflex (which unnerves him when a surprised Hermione points it out, indicating he's not totally aware of it), with increasing elements of the Truth Twister variant thanks to exposure to Doctor Strange. The latter is best shown in chapter 45, where he effortlessly runs verbal rings around Ron, deftly leading him away from the truth he'd confronted Harry with (the Winter Soldier, who'd pulled a Mercy Kill on Arthur Weasley, was still alive) without one word of a lie... and while outright stating that he is "the best liar you'll ever meet." He's distinctly and increasingly unhappy about it, and his "operational security" explanation is indicated to be at least partly a justification to keep Ron and Hermione Locked Out of the Loop and thus - supposedly - safe.

Consummate Liar / int_cb6abea3	comment	In the original Yu-Gi-Oh!, Jonouchi isn't actually a good liar, but at bluffing he's an expert. Some examples: In Duelist Kingdom he pulls a reverse bluff against Keith, a guy who pretty much based his whole career on seeing through a poker face. (As in, he sets a Trap Card, tells Keith it's a trap, and hopes he thinks this is an ordinary bluff.) Despite Keith saying it's the "lamest bluff I've ever heard" he still falls for it. Much later, he's able to fool Amoral Attorney Johnson of the Big Five this way, a man who claims he was once able to convict a defendant of stealing a boat, despite said defendant being "terrified of water". Jonouchi's bluff involves him holding up two cards and telling Johnson to guess which is the Monster card, and reminding him the outcome rests on him getting it right. At first, Johnson does get it right, and actually sees through Jonouchi's "Are you sure?" bluff (commenting that it's one of The Oldest Tricks in the Book) at the last second, however, Jonouchi's confidence makes him panic and change his mind; he guesses wrong and loses.

It's played with, however, in that his stories as published are immensely convincing; however, when his editor Charles Lane starts pulling the thread and confronting him about his stories face to face he immediately turns into something of a Bad Liar, acting sweaty, whining and unconvincing, relying on lame excuses and playing the victim to convince people to believe him.

However, it weakens them significantly if their lies are visibly contradicted by hard evidence. They have a complex relationship with their opposite numbers, the Seraphim, angels of truth who cand detect lies; Balseraphs are at a significant disadvantage when trying to fool Seraphim with their lies, but the angels in turn find it difficult to pierce a Balseraph's shell of untruth — from a Balseraph's viewpoint, its lies are the truth, so a Seraph trying to read one will usually get that it's being entirely honest. Also, Malakim can recognize them if they're perceptive enough, but are otherwise just as vulnerable as anyone else to their lies.

The Elves speak it fluently, and so have the reputation of never telling a lie. Brom warns Eragon in the first book that this means that most of them have mastered the art of being Truth Twisters. Eragon tries his hand at this in the second book; when someone who broke his heart asks him (in the Language) how he is now, he tells her that he is "better than [he] was", referring to his healed back.

For example, if they want to tell you that they didn't murder somebody, then they could decide that everyone else is a figment of their imagination, so they couldn't have committed murder because murder requires you to kill someone real. The fact that they actually killed the guy because they believed he was their mortal enemy from a past life is irrelevant, since it's not real to them anymore.

Consummate Liar / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: Matt Engarde from Justice For All. Phoenix asks him if he committed murder. He didn't, so the Magatama didn't show any Psyche-Locks. However, he is guilty of hiring an assassin to do the job- he got past the lie detector because he genuinely believed it wasn't murder if you didn't do it yourself. There's one instance where breaking a Psyche-Lock with the Magatama yields Phoenix information which turns out to be completely wrong. It's hard to say, though, whether this is an example of this trope or whether it's a mistake from the Magatama. In note to the two examples above, on both occasions the "lies" managed to slip past the Magatama due to a flaw in the Magatama's system. The Magatama isn't a pure lie detector but rather tells its user when a person "is holding a secret in their heart". To this effect, a person can themselves believe a lie to be true and the Magatama wouldn't react to it. This is what happened in the first example; he believed his statement of "I never killed anyone" to be true because he's an evil sociopath who genuinely thought that hiring an assassin meant he never killed anyone. It's implied that had he himself believed hiring a murder meant he was a killer then the Magatama would have picked up the statement as a lie. In the second example, the person lying had become so attached to his lie that he, once again, believed it to be true, thus the Magatama didn't pick up that the info gained was all lies. It's not until court where Phoenix "reveals" said person's made-up identity that he starts to snap out of believing that he really was this identity. In Dual Destinies, the "Mood Matrix" used by Athena Cykes can detect a person's emotional stability when giving testimony and allow her to read into their real emotions to pick apart lies. During the final case, she uses this against rival prosecutor Simon Blackquill, whose testimony is the only time that the Mood Matrix picks up an increase in emotional disturbance over the course of the testimony (normally it drops the more you probe the witness's testimony for emotional inconsistency). Simon doesn't shake his facial expression during this period and his lies are perfectly believable, so the only way you know that his lies are just getting stronger as he testifies is by the Mood Matrix.

Further, Bothans seem to be natural Consummate Liars, still able to hide the truth from Leia Organa Solo, a Force-sensitive politician who's worked with Bothans for over fifteen years by the end of the war with the Empire in the Hand of Thrawn duology.

Then there's Vergere, who remarks, "Everything I tell you is the truth, and everything I tell you is a lie."

Consummate Liar / int_ee66462b	comment	Dr. STONE: This is Gen's defining trait; he's a self-described "mentalist" (more of a showman/magician as Senku puts it) with a good understanding of human nature, and so he's easily able to trick people and sway things to his favor with his words. He's not called the "silver-tongued man" for nothing, after all. In chapter 151, it is shown that not even a polygraph machine can detect his lies, although Dr. Xeno still becomes suspicious because of how honest he's being.

Consummate Liar / int_eed321b1	comment	Ars Magica: Demons lie like they breathe, and no mundane or magical means can detect whether or not they're telling the truth. This isn't so much because you can't detect their lies as you can't detect their truths- because none exist. Truth is a virtue, and demons, as beings of pure evil, don't possess it and can't comprehend it. Even if a demon's words line up with outside reality, it's still no more true to them than the statements that don't. This lack of understanding of truth also makes it quite easy to lie to demons.

Consummate Liar / int_f0a86c12	comment	Barney Stinson of How I Met Your Mother is a self-described "master of manipulation" who takes the art of lying to seduce women to whole new levels. At one point he got a woman into bed by dressing up as an old man, telling her he was from the future, and warning her that, if she didn't sleep with present-day Barney, the world would come to an end. And it worked. This isn't even getting into all the Batman Gambits he's pulled on his friends, in episodes like "Game Night", "Little Boys", and "The Scuba Diver". At one point, a psychologist Robin dates describes Barney as a pathological liar when psychoanalyzing the main cast.

Agravaine can lie to Arthur's face about betraying him, even swearing on his dead sister's life. Season Five Gwen has them both beat. She comes up with perfectly logical explanations for her disappearances, manages to misdirect and manipulate everyone around her on a dime, and can conjure up tears at a moment's notice. She also manages to avoid Morgana's trademark smirk and Agravaine's Obviously Evil demeanor.

Consummate Liar / int_f3ef0f86	comment	The title character from Artemis Fowl pulls a particularly clever version of this at the end of Eternity Code (Book 3). The faeries use mind control to "convince" Fowl to spill the beans on where his various Notes To Self are before they memory wipe him. Fowl, however, uses mirrored contacts to avoid this and plays along, sending them after dummy notes while keeping the real Note to Self hidden (in the literal hands of a kleptomaniac dwarf).

It ranges from something very simple like lying by omission to something very elaborate like faking the death of his mistress (the "evidence" he leaves behind is convincing enough to the police that her demise is reported on the front page of a New Orleans newspaper). His vampire daughter Claudia notes that "It's [Lestat's] nature to lie" and "He's the father of lies."

Akane Kurashiki (June), can feign concern for Ace, the man who put her through a Deadly Game nine years prior, which potentially ended in her death by incineration depending on the timeline, and who she is masterminding the current Deadly Game in order to get revenge on (as well as to set up the timeline in which her past self survives). This facade is absolutely flawless, and doesn't break once during the story.

He usually wins by tricking his opponents into a situation where they have no choice but to believe him. And once they do, they play into his hands. If this doesn't work, he complicates things by lying about lying. All of the eponymous Itsuwaribito aspire to be this, but many claim the title but have few skills to back it up.

All but the most simple-minded of his underlings are aware of his deceptive nature, but no one is able to completely guess what goes on in his mind. A weird case is from Transformers: Animated — Starscream clones himself, and all the clones end up embodying elements of his personality; naturally, this means one (later named Ramjet) ends up constantly spewing Blatant Lies, although it verges into Bad Liar territory because of the frequent denials he'll start saying instead.
