Gentleman Wizard	comment	A staple in Gaslamp Fantasy and Fantasy Counterpart Cultures of a Victorian-esque society. The Gentleman Wizard is, essentially, an aristocratic blue blood who also happens to be some sort of magician, alchemist, wizard, or what have you. If his magic is something which is passed down through blood, then it's possible he's part of a Magocracy, but he's definitely part of a Magical Society, probably with some interesting name that alludes to hermeticism or Greek Mythology. If his magic is learned however, then he tends to be close to a magical version of a Gentleman and a Scholar. Either way, his status as a rich blue blood allows for him to get quite good at this magic stuff, since he probably has nothing better to do. Usually the skill to use magic is seen as an appropriate sort of job for a gentleman to have, similar to being a lawyer or banker. He'll also be a Sharp-Dressed Man, in dapper Victorian or Edwardian attire, possibly embellished to show off the fact that he's magical, and if he has a walking-stick it will no doubt be his wizard's staff or act as a magic focus at least once. But even as a gentleman, such characters are usually considered to be quite strange and eccentric, even tricky and untrustworthy, no matter how polite their manner may appear to be. And as blue bloods, they might be quite proud and stuffy, looking down on the commoners and the muggles. If magic isn't particularly common then it's not unheard of for him to be The Hermit who lives in a Big Fancy House on a hill which he rarely comes out of, acting as something of an Urban Legend to the populace. This was the original persona of Stage Magicians when they first appeared in that era. They have since relaxed as the rest of society has, and now a magician in a suit is seen as old hat (no pun intended). See also Magicians Are Wizards. If he is British, he is most likely a Quintessential British Gentleman; if American, he might be a Southern Gentleman or Boston Brahmin. Compare Gentleman and a Scholar for the science equivalent (the two might dislike each other deeply, but you'd never be able to tell). Contrast the Blue-Collar Warlock.

Gentleman Wizard / int_1ac2ea51	comment	The original Shadow Hearts is set in 1912, with the Victorian era just dying out. The game’s antagonist is Roger Bacon ( or “Albert Simon” to use his real name) - who dresses in a dark-suit, complete with tie, white-gloves, and a top-hat. He owned a manor on London, speaks with impeccable etiquette and wears a serene smile on his face... even as he is using dark magic to rack-up a body count in the double digits within the first 10 seconds of screen introduction.

Gentleman Wizard / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Dumbledore has most trappings of an old and eccentric English aristocrat, especially when he was younger (and had a very stylish looking purple suit when he was visiting Riddle at the orphanage). Gilderoy Lockhart wants to be this trope, and built an extremely elaborate persona as a rich, winsome celebrity around himself. Lucius Malfoy is an aristocrat of the particularly arrogant sort, with a pedigree dating back centuries, a lordly country villa, and an extremely powerful and feared reputation in politics... at least until his social standing takes a dive after Voldemort's return. In fact, a lot of wizards from the old pureblood families (or at least the rich ones) tend to fit this trope.

As the personal aide to Warden Commander Anastasia Luccio, he is a trusted and powerful mage who has guarded the spirit world entrance to the White Council alone when it is usually manned by five people. The current Merlin of the White Council is also one. He can be polite and witty when in the mood. He treats people, sans Harry, with respect when they meet and is a general Archmage able to hold off an Eldritch Abomination with only one-second warning and alert everyone in the trapped room to stay down via telepathy. Harry himself likes to think he has the old-fashioned good manners thing going — and his chivalry is occasionally referred to by more urbane character Lara Raith as "charmingly outdated" — even if he's a Blue-Collar Warlock in practice.

Gentleman Wizard / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Archchancellor Ridcully is an interesting variant; a wizard who is also a gentleman, albeit a gentleman of the "bluff, hearty, boisterous, huntin'-shootin'-an'-fishin' country squire" variety rather than the "urbane, sophisticated and genteel" sort this trope is commonly associated with. The other wizards were surprised, too — they were expecting a Radagast Expy (his actual title is Ridcully the Brown) who was friend to every beast and fish and bird who'd be content to do what he as told, not a Large Ham crossbow enthusiast whose solution to every problem is shouting at it until it is solved or goes away and proved so unkillable that the Klingon Promotion way of wizards ended with him. Unseen Academicals plays this up with the wizards in general (while also, oddly, giving Ridcully himself more humble origins as the son of a butcher), such as referring to "that slow handclapping and table-thumping which is the mark of appreciation amongst men of a certain age, class and girth, accompanied by cries of 'Ver', ver' well done, that man!' and 'Jolly good!'" Later, they surprise the Bledlows by making their way through a crowd with "determination, viciousness and the sugared arrogance that is the mark of every true gentleman, as in 'Oh, was that your foot? I'm so terribly sorry.'" There's also Lady Lilith de Tempscire, aka Lily Weatherwax, who's a lordly, high-class witch with all the trappings of a major player at a royal court and the power behind the throne in Genua (the person on the throne is a frog). This is a sharp contrast to the other witches, who are generally country wise women who would rather not meddle in politics. Discworld Wizards are generally regarded as a type of "nob" (important person, much like a noble).

According to his Who's Who entry, he's generally accepted as coming from a distinguished family, although there's a certain amount of mystery about his origins and he stated he "had no reason to believe" he's the heir to a peerage when offered it. He had an Eton and Oxford education and is very much described as a Quintessential British Gentleman, with magic. This means that he sometimes comes across to the often working-class Temps as a bit of a pompous git, but a well-meaning one.

Emery Thane is a good example: while we don't know his parents' social status, he has a lot of money and is seen casually hanging around outside of Parliament. Unusually for this trope, female magicians seem to be as common and respected in the setting as male ones.

While the Society is generally well-meaning, its members are prone to being condescending towards women and the lower classes, which means that they never react quickly enough to the threat to fix it before whomever the main character of the story does.

This style is very common among Magi in the Nasuverse, where magical studies and aristocracy go hand in hand due to how the succession of Magic Crests is traditionally handled. Ironically, by playing the trope straight, he's a subversion to a good many of the other Nasuverse wizards, who are usually uncaring sociopaths underneath a veneer of class and civility, while Tokiomi is fundamentally a good, if naive, person straight through.

Gentleman Wizard / int_ebffc81f	comment	Mage: The Awakening: Among the Awakened, Mastigos seems to fill this role pretty well. But only because they are deceivers and devil's advocates. Don't expect them to actually hold their part of gentlemen's agreement. The silver ladder's less overtly terrifying members tend to fall into this mold more often than not as well, due to their reliance on politics and social engineering and their philosophy's focus on mage superiority and noblesse oblige.
