Particularly devious and magnificent villains, especially Diabolical Masterminds, have a habit of putting their hands together at around chest or mouth level, with fingers either interlocked or tip-to-tip. One possible reason behind this gesture is that when a person lies, they often unconsciously cover their mouth with their hand (as if to prevent the lie from escaping their lips). Thus, putting both hands in front of your mouth means that you're lying big time. Another reason is that in Real Life body language, people tend to automatically steeple the hands when feeling overly confident, or superior to whoever they happen to be speaking to. Someone who does this too often will quickly come across as arrogant. But this pose has the advantage of completely blocking arms and chest, making their body language impossible to read anymore. Bonus points if combined with ominous lighting, Scary Shiny Glasses, a slight Slouch of Villainy, a Beard of Evil or a Kubrick Stare. Double bonus for a Psychotic Smirk. Any combination of these can be used for a Traitor Shot. The word usually used for this action in novels is "steepling." Not related to Intertwined Fingers. Usually. See Hand Rubbing for the poor man's version of this trope. |

Sherlock: The finger-tips pressed variant is one of the title character's more iconic habits. Given who the title character is the gesture tends to signify contemplation rather than malice, although its Machiavellian connotations may still apply. | |

In K: Return of Kings, Munakata does this during his argument with Fushimi, before Fushimi fake-defects to Jungle. You don't see much of his face for most of the time that he's shown - just his hands, tensing in this position, tip-to-tip (not by his face). The tension in his hands shows that he's feeling something more than he's letting on - before the plan is revealed, it could be that he's angrier at Fushimi than he seems. After the truth is revealed, and particularly after what he tells Yata outside of the bar, if you go back and watch it, you can see that he's actually worried about Fushimi. | |

Done by the main character of Aki-chan's Life on the cover to Chapter 2, dressed up as Grandpa Gendo. Is of a much more humorous variety then most other examples as the person in question is 4 years old and barefoot, with her feet not even remotely close to the floor. Shinji does this in Chapter 5 when dressing down Asuka's father about his parenting skills (or lack thereof). |

Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha is seen doing this at the beginning, just to show how much of a Disney Anti Hero he was. Oddly, after his genuine Face–Heel Turn he doesn't do it again until some time after joining Akatsuki. This is Lampshaded in an early episode of the abridged series: Shikamaru also does the tip-to-tip style while he's planning. He does it so often it gets mistaken for a hand sign. Tsunade did this on occasions. Gaara seems to have picked up this habit when he's sitting down lately too. It seems to be a replacement for his usual standing-up habit of crossing his arms. |

Gendo Ikari of Neon Genesis Evangelion combines this with all the bonus points listed in the page description; the Psychotic Smirk is rare, but it always means good news for him and extremely bad news for everyone else. His trademark covering-the-mouth variant is often called "the Gendo pose." For a while adding the "Gendo Hands" to existing works were a meme. (As a bonus, using the pose repeatedly helped cut down on animation costs and nobody had to worry about matching lip flaps when dubbing into another language.) He's one of the reasons why this is now THE signature pose for the Diabolical Mastermind. Scans from the original designs for Shinji show him doing a happy version of the pose. It must be a tradition in the Ikari family. Rei also does this several times. She must unconsciously have copied it from Gendo. Misato can be seen doing it too, perhaps in an attempt to copy Gendo's cool command poise. |

Celestia Ludenberg in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc occasionally slips into this. However, she never bothered to cover her mouth... although she instead uses a cute smile accompanied with closed eyes of innocence. Coupled with how she's called 'Queen of Liars', that still doesn't deduce the points about how much she's deceiving. The final Closing Argument also shows the mastermind doing this in their control room. | |

The Thrawn Trilogy: The comic book adaptation has Grand Admiral Thrawn doing this often. That, or cradling and stroking a creature that is probably intended to be a ysalamiri. Notably he doesn't do much of either in the novels, but Magnificent Bastards steeple, and Thrawn is a Magnificent Bastard, so "steepled" is the second-most common way his hands are drawn in the comic, in other official art, and in fanart. The most common way his hands are positioned is undeniably clasped behind his back, a gesture of restraint. Notably you can't clasp your hands behind your back while sitting, and steepling just looks stupid when you're standing up. The ysalamir stroking, at least, does occasionally happen in the books, whenever Thrawn wishes to emphasize their (Force-nullifying) presence when speaking with Force users. |

Igor is often seen doing this in the Persona games. However, while he seems to enjoy looking rather sinister doing so (it doesn't help that he already looks creepy enough without the finger tenting), he's very much on humanity's side, and never actively deceives the protagonist. In fact, he's one of THE nicest (and most helpful) supernatural entities you will find in any Shin Megami Tensei game. And in an amusing but foreshadowing note, in the one game he isn't seen doing this, it's an impostor using his form. Subverted in that he's a Smug Snake and a Chew Toy for much of the games. It certainly goes hard on the trope during a certain 'event' in the second game... |

Lelouch from Code Geass commonly does this while his plans go as expected. When they fail... he does all sorts of different gestures. Schneizel does this while he's telling the "truth" about Lelouch to the Black Knights. Lelouch also does this when he's giving a "Reason You Suck" Speech to Nunnally - though there's a shot of his hands trembling a little, showing just how hard it was for him. The series does this a lot, showing a lot of his emotion through the tension in his hands. Shirley, of all people, does this in the penultimate episode of R1, though it isn't because of any scheming on her part. It's because things have gotten very very serious at Ashford Academy. |

Used humorously in Pokémon: The Series when James, of all people, does this while guiding Jessie, Meowth, and the twerps in landing an out-of-control rocket. | |

Kohaku in Tsukihime clasps her hands while talking with Shiki after having sex in her own route. Since she'd been trying to manipulate him to kill Akiha, this might make sense, but it's actually a subversion. She wasn't lying to him, and she later tried to stop Shiki and the then-insane Akiha from killing each other. She does drug him so he can't come after her immediately after that though. |

Shizune from Katawa Shoujo seems to like "tenting" her hands and otherwise follows the personality tropes associated with this to the letter, though as far as chessmastery is concerned, all she's got to show for herself is a mean game of RISK. | |
