Gentleman and a Scholar	comment	Sometimes, the only smart people in a work are TV geniuses, absent-minded professors, insufferable geniuses, or representatives of some other variety of "brilliant-automatically-equals-socially-awkward". One of these may have Einstein Hair or otherwise seriously neglect his appearance. In those works, you can expect him to be more concerned with abstract equations or other intellectual problems than with the real human beings around him. Maybe his intellectualism is just a way of hiding his evil character. Not so with anyone who is a Gentleman and a Scholar. He manages to be both a highly intelligent expert in his chosen field and a pleasant, well-adjusted, and socially engaging human being, sometimes being even more attuned to the nuances of social etiquette than many less-intelligent characters. Frequently, his emphasis is more on the humanities than on the natural sciences (he is probably fluent in dead languages and always handy with an apropos quotation from Aristotle, Saint Augustine, or Dante), but this is not an absolute rule. Whatever his field, he is always striving to learn more, but never allows himself to fall victim to Crippling Overspecialization. He is always well-groomed and neatly dressed, unless extraordinary circumstances dictate otherwise. Simply put, this is what happens when The Smart Guy is also a Nice Guy. Sometimes, the aforementioned socially awkward intellectuals can fit this. Simply because someone is socially inept does not mean he is rude. Professor Frink and Dr. Brown would never hurt a fly. This character may not necessarily be an actual Blue Blood or Quintessential British Gentleman, but his adherence to the Good Old Ways, his graciousness as a host, and his intelligent and erudite conversations make him seem like one. Unlike the slightly-infantilized geniuses one may see in other works, a Gentleman And A Scholar is always mature and maintains his composure. He is typically older, but if not, expect him to be Wise Beyond His Years. That maturity may or may not make him a Badass Bookworm, but he generally tends to eschew direct physical confrontation if it can be avoided. He frequently strays into Antiquated Linguistics, and possibly the better-done sort of Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness. His alma mater is probably a school with a long history and Gothic towers. He is more often unwed, but if he has a family, expect him to be a benevolent patriarch. If he goes off to war, expect him to receive a commission and become an Officer and a Gentleman (and a Scholar). This trope is commonly seen in conjunction with Genius Book Club (expect to see many leather-bound books and a bust of Pallas) and Smart People Play Chess. May or may not smoke a pipe. Glasses are common, but many such characters tend to be older, so perhaps it is justified. Shares a few characteristics with the Gentleman Snarker. Will usually be at least a bit of a Renaissance Man, though what makes him a gentleman and a scholar is not his diversification into multiple fields per se, but rather his ability to maintain his dignity and be socially well-adjusted even while intensively studying an academic subject. Note that this is not always a man, but neither is it strictly a unisex trope. It is possible for a woman to be a Lady and a Scholar, but because women were not common in academia until the 20-21st century, the archetype has not had proper time to develop an easily recognizable Distaff Counterpart. There's also less expectation of Insufferable Genius associated with female academics, so their being warm and well-mannered is less likely to be a defining trait. Also see Good Is Not Dumb. Compare and contrast with Kindhearted Simpleton. Polar Opposite Trope of Insufferable Imbecile. If he has magic, he's a Gentleman Wizard. An existing character can be upgraded inexplicably in this way via Instant Cultured.

Izumo Kusanagi fits this, unexpectedly for a HOMRA member. In the novels, it talks about how he went to a top school, and he seems to speak at least four languages, plus he's the one to organize a lot of the planning for HOMRA and all of the Clans, once they make their alliance. Reisi Munakata, the Blue King, fits this to a T. Eloquent speech, fine artistic knowledge, formal aesthetic (check his office)...

Gentleman and a Scholar / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Remus Lupin is a good example of the trope: a mild-mannered, pleasant, scholarly figure who genuinely cares about the children under his care and is generally well-liked. The only area he doesn't fit is in terms of presentation (he's always described as very shabby, with patched robes and a dilapidated suitcase), but this is a symptom of his extreme poverty, the cause of which is beyond his own control. He's also a frickin' werewolf, which makes his fitting this trope all the more remarkable. A lot of werewolves turn their back on wizard society, but he is a loyal member of the good guys and a genuinely good man. Dumbledore, who remains polite and well-mannered in all situations (even to his enemies), and is a renowned scholar known to have worked with Flamel, credited with the discovery of twelve uses of dragon blood as well as known to speak Gobbledegook and Mermish.

Among the Alethi (and the culturally very similar Vedens) scholarship is considered an almost exclusively feminine pursuit, so male scholars are rare and generally poorly regarded. However, upper-class women are expected to be at least conversant in history, literature, the sciences, the arts, and other intellectual pursuits, and they make up the bulk of serious scholars. Jasnah is the most obvious example of a Lady and a Scholar but there are many others; Shallan is in training to become one of these.

X-Men: First Class affirms that he's half-British through his mother, and she had raised him to behave and speak like a proper upper-class English gentleman. Many depictions of the Beast emphasize his Renaissance Man qualities and generally good nature. Appropriately, his first film portrayal was by Kelsey Grammer.

He does love to boast about and show off his many wonders, and he does tend to brush off questions, but that generally stems from happiness and excitement rather than the superior manner of an Insufferable Genius. He is a whimsical Trickster (and the Trope Namer for eccentric authority figures in general), but he's also highly intelligent and fun to be around — provided you behave. If he had actual magical powers, rather than simply being a Renaissance Man Mad Scientist, he'd fit the Gentleman Wizard trope like a glove. (Note that this does not apply to his portrayal in the 2005 film adaptation — there he is an Insufferable Genius Manchild instead.)

He is a little socially awkward, but it is strongly implied that most of this is due to trauma over his wife's death. He fits the trope even better in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, where he is, for all his many faults, a good and decent father, and an expert on Medieval Chivalry. Indiana Jones himself, on the other hand, is a major subversion of this. In his classroom, he looks the part, but in actuality, he is a rough-and-tumble cowboy who has just as many problems adapting to normal society as a typical bookworm... they're just the opposite problems.

But in Back to the Future Part III he is revealed to be quite the gentleman, and ladies' man, as well. Even more impressive if you consider that he decided to become a ladies' man only relatively late, in the second movie. Not to mention how different the standards of formal etiquette were between the 1980s and the 1880s. The original draft for both the first film and the sequels have Doc as being quite the ladies' man in the 1950s.

He often behaves as though he had No Social Skills, but is nonetheless charming, and, at least in most incarnations, generally polite. He's also cultured and seemingly tries to be well-dressed, but his wardrobe is at best anachronistic. The Doctor who probably suits this trope the most would be the Third Doctor. Always charming, suave, polite, and well-dressed, once he finally got back full control of the TARDIS that is. River Song is a female example of a scholar and a gentleman: she is an academic doctor and later professor, is charming and witty, empathetic towards others like Amy Pond, and can move in a variety of social situations. She is also dangerous, but unflappably so. Professor/Major Palmer from the series 7 episode "Hide" seems a good, human, example. Genuinely remorseful for the death and destruction he caused during WWII, and a professor of Psychology (and ghost-hunter). Dresses the part, too.

Gentleman and a Scholar / int_d634ac98	comment	The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Dr Henry Jekyll tried to invoke this trope so hard it led to his downfall: He managed to get three doctorates, one in medicine and two in law, and he was part of the Fellowship of the Royal Society (FRS), an award granted to individuals that the Royal Society of London judges to have made a substantial contribution to the improvement of natural knowledge, including mathematics, engineering science, and medical science.note FRS has been described by The Guardian newspaper as the equivalent of a lifetime achievement Oscar. His two best friends, Doctor Lanyon and lawyer Utterson, were inseparable when they were young students. That means that Jekyll studied at least two doctorates at the same time, which is quite impressive... but it also means he's been repressing all his vices instead of developing healthy coping mechanisms. Jekyll felt that he couldn't deal with his vices while remaining a gentleman, so he created the potion that turned him into Hyde... and the rest is literary history.

Gentleman and a Scholar / int_e293455a	comment	Rupert Giles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer is surely the epitome of this trope. As a well-spoken Englishman, he is deliberately calculated to stand out in the show's California setting. A librarian and former curator of a/possibly THE British Museum, Giles is a little awkward, but mostly charming, and serves as a repository of information without which Buffy would be unable to complete her mission. Although, when the situation calls for it (mainly when something seriously threatens Buffy or the other Scoobies), he can be quite violent. Also, his slightly awkward nature comes as a backlash to his violent teen-to-twenty-something rebellion, which left a wake of chaos, death, and destruction.

Despite being the ruthless Mastermind of the criminal underworld, Moriarty is a renowned scholar of mathematics and those who encounter him find him to be charming and fatherly.
