The Social Expert is a character with people skills, especially when dealing with large groups of people. They can recognize the social patterns in a group, figure out people's motivations, and know who the person in charge is. The Social Expert can identify who's manipulatable, who's a manipulator, and who's neither. The Social Expert can make themself likable even to their enemies and is normally clever enough not to make very many of them. Social expertise is an alignment-neutral skill, but it's practically a prerequisite for Manipulative Bastard, Magnificent Bastard, and The Chessmaster. Nearly every Decadent Court will have at least one, probably more. May also be The Charmer. On The Team, they are The Face. Protagonist Social Experts are Guile Heroes, supporting Social Experts end up as Mr. Exposition, and villainous ones are normally large-scale Manipulative Bastards. Contrast with No Social Skills. In role-playing games involving Combat, Diplomacy, Stealth, this is the Diplomacy option. With the rise of social media-focused stories, a Tech Bro who dabbles in social media may be portrayed as The Social Expert. |

Sylvester in Twig learned to read people as a child out of necessity, and as a result is a skilled manipulator and predictor of others. His ability is massively bolstered by Wyvern, which lets him restructure his brain to give himself greater focus on certain areas, and he has pretty much permanently settled for this trope to round out his team's roster of skills. However, while he normally relishes being this, the story also explores the downsides; forming a trusting and equal relationship is extremely difficult when he has such an enormous advantage in emotional manipulation, even if both he and the other party want to make it work, and being an effortless Consummate Liar means that when trying to be genuinely honest he is either not believed or he says the wrong thing. | |

Worm has Tattletale and Jack Slash, who use social expertise in their supervillain work. Tattletale uses her Sherlock Scan power to build up profiles of individuals and home in on their psychological weak points. Jack Slash greatly enjoys gaining understanding of the minds of superpowered individuals and uses this understanding to get other villains vastly more powerful than he is to do what he says. | |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: In contrast to his brother, Mario clearly knows his way around people. He is able to successfully negotiate with several figures of authority during his adventure, wordlessly coaches Luigi through an anxious phone call, and consistently gives the denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom friendly greetings even when they're strange or intimidating, as if aware of the value of a good first impression. | |

The Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School character Yukizome can adapt herself to suit the resident Ragtag Bunch of Misfits' personalities so quickly that they agree within a day to start attending class again. This is why Munakata (who's good at rhetoric but not personal interactions) assigns her spy work and one reason why he's so crushed when her betrayal is revealed. Yukizome was not only his (girl?)friend but his Living Emotional Crutch. | |

The Expanse has two prominent social experts exemplifying two opposing sides of the social expertise: Chrisjen Avasarala and Anna Volovodov. Avasarala is a manipulative chessmaster who always knows exactly what to say to whom to make them do what she wants them to do. Anna, meanwhile, is a pure-hearted minister whose words reach the hearts of even the most jaded individuals and bring out the best in them, however deeply buried, because she always speaks from her heart. Both are excellent judges of character, but when Avasarala opens her mouth, expect an awesome moment, and when Anna does, expect a heartwarming one. | |

The Night Unfurls: Other than combat, Lily displays talent in mediating and emotional support. She may not be some ridiculous master manipulator (they don't really exist in this setting), but she shines when it comes to mundane, less fantastic social elements, compared with other members of Kyril's cadre of apprentice hunters. Lily is often responsible for de-escalating the situation when Kyril comes into blows with other people, given that her aloof, brusque master is more than capable of offing them without consideration. This is one of Grace's duties as Kyril's retainer to help gather info and intel, from interacting with the nobility, to attending meetings on Kyril's behalf. |

His nature makes him a valuable pawn for Cinder, who herself is forced to rely on An Offer You Can't Refuse in order to recruit people. | |

She already lost her job once as Starlight revealing she had been sexually abused by another member created a PR nightmare, and once brought back as Director of Talent Relations, working closer to an asshole without empathy like Homelander ensures Ashley suffers and gets absolutely no respect. She still continues to handle their PR crisis, like Blue Hawk attacking audience members at a Black community center where he is instructed to give an apology for his Racial Profiling There's also Stormfront, who has a strong social media presence and is as savvy as it gets with internet promotion, down to hiring five guys to constantly churn out memes...to hide that she's a complete sociopath and a literal Nazi who takes particular pleasure in killing minorities. |

Virgil of The Divine Comedy is infamous for his persuasive tongue, which is partly why he's such an effective guide in both leading Dante deeper into Hell for his redemption and in shifting Dante's perspective on God's judgement of sin.

Ring-Maker: Taylor AKA Sauron/Mairon, after triggering, displays such an aptness for talking people into things — aided by an aura of charisma — that it's an ongoing debate, in-universe and out, whether she should be classified as a Master. Word of God is that, had she not gone to the Protectorate so early on, they likely would've classified her as a Master because, even if she doesn't actually have the power to control people, she's so good at getting them to do what she wants anyway that it's practically a moot point. It's even pointed out in-universe that "social Thinker"note "Thinker" being the Protectorate term for various forms of Super-Intelligence, divided into "social" and "combat" sub-categories with the latter being Combat Clairvoyance is normally used as a PR-friendly euphemism for a relatively low-powered Master rating, which is rather an Open Secret. | |

Discworld: Moist von Lipwig is a con man extraordinaire whose talent lies in getting people to believe whatever he wants them to while thinking it was their own idea. He's managed on multiple occasions to turn a public spectacle to his advantage, turning the crowd to his favor and becoming a Spanner in the Works for whoever he's up against in the process. Havelock Vetinari, Patrician of Anhk-Morpork, has maintained control of the city by having a firm grasp of what motivates people and how to use that to his own ends. In Jingo, is revealed at the end he knew long before anyone else that the island Anhk-Morpork and the Klatchians were fighting over would soon sink into the ocean as suddenly as it rose. Upon learning this he signs a treaty that surrenders the island to Klatchians with significant concessions, which amount to nothing but making Klatch and his domestic foes look like fools when the inevitable happens. This is Nanny Ogg's role among the witches of Lancre. She knows how to fit in just about any place and can insert herself into any crowd and know everyone's names and stories within minutes. It's one of the few areas of witchcraft where even Granny Weatherwax will defer to her expertise. |

In Final Fantasy XIV, this is Thancred's role among the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. The Scions being mostly a group of scholars, mages, and general-purpose nerds, Thancred stands out all the more for his early appearance with a woman on each arm, chatting them up while keeping an ear out for nearby gossip. Much later on in the plot, new Scion G'raha Tia shows some signs of a less flirtatious and more leaderly variation, taking charge of crowds by calmly calling out orders and offering them a direction before they can begin to panic. This is also the most notable and possibly only useful skill possessed by Emmanellain de Fortemps, especially in his early appearances: he's middling at best as a knight, and before a harsh reality check he's perpetually unmotivated to do actual hard work, but he does know almost all the interesting gossip in the city, which in the politically-fraught Ishgard is actually pretty valuable. |

Getting his fellow riders to work together through tricking them or saving a patient by stroking his surgeon colleague's perfectionist ego are just the early examples. | |

The Order of the Stick: Elan is a story-telling expert because his role is the party bard. This makes him able to predict the actions and motivations of almost everyone involved. Runs In The Family as Elan and Nale's father, Tarquin is much the same. However, he is a much more experienced and intelligent example of this while also malicious. He uses this to be a shadow ruler alongside his adventurer buddies as part of a grand scheme to conquer an entire continent. Unfortunately, his adherence to storytelling tradition (and resulting hatred of subversion of conventions) along with egomania and Control Freak issues are what allow Elan and the Order to crush his plans. Belkar is a more focused example. Multiple times he's shown he knows exactly what to say to someone, whether it be a mentally unstable paladin, a grieving friend, or a man who's just got a taste for violence. He isn't nice about it, but he can get them to do what he wants. An odd example, as Belkar has no social skills whatsoever, but is an expert on hurting people - it's up to his discretion whether that pain can provoke someone, break them down, or motivate them to keep going out of anger. |

Havelock Vetinari, Patrician of Anhk-Morpork, has maintained control of the city by having a firm grasp of what motivates people and how to use that to his own ends. In Jingo, is revealed at the end he knew long before anyone else that the island Anhk-Morpork and the Klatchians were fighting over would soon sink into the ocean as suddenly as it rose. Upon learning this he signs a treaty that surrenders the island to Klatchians with significant concessions, which amount to nothing but making Klatch and his domestic foes look like fools when the inevitable happens. | |

Exalted has a threefold division between social skills, mental skills, and physical skills. Any character with high social skills is a social expert. Among the Solars, members of the Zenith and Eclipse castes have the greatest talent in this area; other social specialists include Changing Moon Lunars, Midnight and Moonshadow Caste Abyssals, most Sidereals, and Malefactor and Fiend caste Infernals...although the precise form their supernatural social-fu takes varies by type. | |

This is the bard's job in Dungeons & Dragons, although they can also fight pretty well. In third edition, the infamous Diplomancer build allowed a character of this sort (often a bard) to, fairly rapidly, talk down most intelligent opponents from actively hostile into disinterested parties. The College of Eloquence in 5E doubles down on this role by giving bards an automatic 10 or higher on Persuasion or Deception rolls. Assuming maxed out Charisma and expertise, when you pick up this subclass you will never get below a 19. When you reach maximum proficiency, you’ll never roll below a 27! |

Bill on Fangbone!. In contrast to Fangbone's "sword first, questions second" approach to strangers, Bill is more likely to try and engage with others by trying to talk to them and understand where they're coming from - a trait that has helped him and Fangbone defeat with a few of their opponents with minimal bloodshed as seen in episodes like "The Duck of Always", "The Bucket of Goblins", and "The Defeat of Glory". One of the last episodes even shows Bill bribing Venomous Drool's monsters with food to get them to support him and Fangbone instead of Drool. | |

Batman Also from DC Comics is Dick Grayson, the first Robin and later Nightwing. It's been joked that his real superpower is charisma, often mediating fights amongst heroes and even having villains coming to his defense on occasion due to his sheer likeableness. Tim Drake, the third Robin later Red Robin, gets along with people and never had any enemies in his civilian life even though his close friends did and he gains the affection of a number of villains. Coming on Dick's heels everyone rather expects him to be like Dick, but Tim is much more closed off and manipulative than his elder brother and is not the natural leader Dick is, preferring to work as a tactician and planner supporting someone he trusts. |

Saints Row 2: The Corrupt Corporate Executive Dane Vogel demonstrates the overwhelming power of social expertise in the middle of the Ronin arc, when he, alone and unarmed, waltzes into the Third Street Saints' hideout, confuses the heck out of everyone with faint compliments, then negotiates a temporary alliance with the Boss against the Ronin, offering himself as the collateral to assure the gangbangers that this isn't a trap. When the Boss takes too long to return, Pierce gets nervous and suggest that maybe they should just shoot Vogel, which Vogel disarms with a calm, but utterly confident "You really shouldn't", leaving Pierce completely paralyzed with indecision until the Boss finally does come back. | |

He's got good insight on the dynamics of inter-Spark interactions and how they can resolve peacefully, and it was his ambitious plans involving "a thousand orphans, a hedge maze and enough cheese" that apparently got him exiled. Queen Albia of England may also count. She mentions that even before her second breakthrough she was a master of the art of knowing people's hearts and motivations. |

Mr. Wickham in Pride and Prejudice initially seems like The Charmer, but it gradually becomes clear that he's actually this instead, since he very carefully manipulates people using his charm and how they're initially likely to respond to it. He's careful only to spread his tale of woe at the hands of Mr Darcy only in company where he can get away with it and to avoid situations where he can't, and after learning of the true story behind his history with Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth realises that most of his interactions with her were based on flattering her conviction that she could understand someone's true character based on her first impressions. | |

All Persona protagonists are this. They move to a new school in a town or city where they have very few, if any, preexisting relationships and over the course of less than a year manage to establish a close circle of friends and an extremely effective network of contacts. The protagonist of Persona 5 stands out in particular, managing to set up a network that includes (among others): A disgraced back-alley doctor that provides him with questionably legal medicine, an ex-yakuza who runs an airsoft shop that buys all the weird crap he hauls back from the Metaverse and sells the Phantom Thieves their gear, a washed-up politician that teaches him oration and debate, and an alcoholic journalist who feeds him information and writes favorable puff pieces about the Phantom Thieves. Note that he has it the worst compared to other previous protagonists because of his criminal record (that no one but him knows it's on false charges), so it's rather impressive that he can pull through. | |

Trent Lane in Daria, despite a personality so laid back that his communiques are seldom and brief, is often able to identify moments of mounting tension between his sister Jane and her titular best friend. A few times throughout the series he tries to drop subtle (well, slightly subtle) hints that steer the girls towards peaceful resolution. Ironically, he seems pretty oblivious to Daria's long-standing crush on him up until she finally gets over it, at which point he gives her a quiet apology for letting her down when she was counting on him while subtly explaining exactly why they would never work as a couple — without one of both of them giving up some core facet of themselves to make the other happy. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Tyrion Lannister is a rare example of being this trope despite most people not actually finding him all that charming or likeable, partly because they assume Beauty Equals Goodness and he's an ugly dwarf, and partly because his Deadpan Snarker tendencies tend to irritate people. None are quite so skilled or dangerous as Littlefinger, who set the War of Five Kings in motion with just a few carefully chosen words. Sansa Stark is one in training. Tyrion notes that she has nearly perfect manners, always knows what to say in any social situation, and can make other people feel at ease around her. Once she's under the guardianship of Littlefinger she starts learning how to use this attribute for more manipulative political ends. |

Final Fantasy In Final Fantasy XII, Vayne Solidor is so skilled at diplomacy and manipulation that he's able to win over a crowd of people whose country he conquered in a recent military conquest over the course of a single speech. In Final Fantasy XIV, this is Thancred's role among the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. The Scions being mostly a group of scholars, mages, and general-purpose nerds, Thancred stands out all the more for his early appearance with a woman on each arm, chatting them up while keeping an ear out for nearby gossip. Much later on in the plot, new Scion G'raha Tia shows some signs of a less flirtatious and more leaderly variation, taking charge of crowds by calmly calling out orders and offering them a direction before they can begin to panic. This is also the most notable and possibly only useful skill possessed by Emmanellain de Fortemps, especially in his early appearances: he's middling at best as a knight, and before a harsh reality check he's perpetually unmotivated to do actual hard work, but he does know almost all the interesting gossip in the city, which in the politically-fraught Ishgard is actually pretty valuable. |

Confederation leader John Kelly in Victoria is an archetypical example. While his fellow commander John Rumford has more raw charisma, and William Kraft is the master of bureaucratic infighting, Kelly understands group dynamics and informal social hierarchies, and how to influence them. | |

In South Park: The Stick of Truth, the protagonist is noted to have a talent for making friends really quickly on Facebook. The ending reveals that the power to make tons of friends on any social media network is a special power of theirs that caused them and their family to be hunted down by the government. The sequel adds more to this by revealing that their own parents have such powers and were themselves experimented on by the government. | |

Grifter Sophie Deveraux (or whatever her real name may be) from Leverage. Her role on the team is to manipulate the mark by taking on an elaborate "role" that she plays, but often someone else needs to be sent in for one reason or another, and she'll coach them by reading the players and describing what she does and why. She can even profile someone's personality based on Hardison's background profile, seeing if they're driven, lazy, corrupt, or whatever based on the path of their professional career. | |

In the Warhammer 40,000 book Vigilus Ablaze, Abaddon the Despoiler himself is revealed to be an expert negotiator. Abaddon wants to use an ancient super-weapon held by the Fallen Dark Angels on Vigilus to destroy the Imperial Fleet, but the Fallen are intentionally hiding the weapon so they can destroy the loyalist Dark Angels with it instead. When Abaddon meets with the Fallen to negotiate, the narration points out that Abaddon has previously cut deals with everything from the heretical primarchs, to daemons, to the Chaos Gods themselves. As such, even the normally very manipulative Fallen agree in short order to support Abaddon's plan to attack the Imperial Fleet. | |

Shadowrun At least one character in the PC group needs to have good social skills to deal with the various NPCs the group will encounter. They should have high Charisma, good Etiquette skills, and possibly cyberware/bioware that enhances those qualities (e.g. tailored pheromones). Such a person may be called "The Face" of the group. The crown jewel of social expertise is the infamous "Pornomancer" build (the Trope Namer for The Pornomancer, but not necessarily an example). A Social Adept with the right build could throw fifty dice at a social problem, while even the greatest grand masters of a skill would normally only get twenty-five at most. |

Chernobyl: Legasov may be the one who best understands what's going on, but he'd have gotten nowhere if it weren't for Shcherbina and his superpower of making the Soviet Government actually do things. Despite coming across as ignorant and unwilling to listen, Shcherbina demonstrates his social acuity by asking Legasov for a basic run-down of how a nuclear reactor works. Then he asks plant managers Bryukhanov and Fomin about the graphite in the rubble, comparing their behavior to Legasov's. While Legasov thought the danger was worth speaking out-of-turn in the Kremlin, Bryukhanov and Fomin try to downplay the accident, and then Bryukhanov immediately throws Fomin under the bus when Shcherbina asks a basic question about graphite in the rubble. This tells Shcherbina immediately who's trustworhthy and who isn't. Legasov requires Shcherbina's help navigating the Soviet system, coping with the KGB on their tails, and dealing with disillusioned workers, and by the end, Legasov says that while any scientist could have done his job, nobody could have done what Shcherbina did. | |

In The Hustler (1961), this is Bert Gordon's most important skill as a Manipulative Bastard; he can quickly size up someone and identify their innermost weaknesses. He's so good that even after losing $18,000 to Eddie Felton in a 25-hour marathon session of pool, Minnesota Fats cheerfully agrees to keep playing just because Bert identified him as a "loser" — and then proceeds to win it all back. | |

Most characters in Renowned Explorers to a greater or lesser degree. Two of the three combat options involve either demoralizing your foe or convincing them to become your friend (the third involves physical attacks).

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Rarity is definitely the biggest social expert of the Mane 6, being a fashion designer who travels in higher circles than the rest of the cast. This can occasionally blind her to simpler solutions that don't require complicated social graces, at which point Pinkie, who spends all her free time learning what her friends find fun, steps in. Of the princesses who rule Equestria, Princess Celestia is by far the more social one. She ruled the country alone for a thousand years until her sister Luna was redeemed, spending all day in diplomatic talks and making public appearances where she encouraged her subjects to improve. Luna, in a fit of pique, flippantly refers to this as "smiling and being adored by everypony." Luna finds the job much more difficult than expected when she has to take over for a day. Of course, Celestia finds Luna's job much more difficult than expected for the opposite reason. On the other side of the fence is Cozy Glow, a sociopathic Enfant Terrible who has no magic powers whatsoever but manages to be a serious threat because she knows how to play others and believes in The Power of Friendship solely because the "power" part of it is literal in the MLP universe. In fact, the only reason this magicless pegasus seems to have been recruited alongside magical powerhouses like Lord Tirek, King Sombra, and Queen Chrysalis, is Grogar wants her understanding of teamwork and friendship to get the villains to work together. |

One of the main unique character quirks of the Second Doctor in Doctor Who. He can walk into any situation and immediately map out the social dynamics by observing their body language and interactions, approach whoever is almost certain to know more than everyone else, and then instantly figure out what they mean by the fact that they're lying about his questioning. "Power of the Daleks" is a spectacular example, where he effortlessly bluffs his way into the upper social circle of an Earth colony by pretending to be an examiner from Earth, and immediately makes a whole map of who's trying to overthrow who just by watching the politicians' facial expressions as they answer his trivial questions, while still recovering from temporary confusion caused by his first regeneration. | |

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: This, along with being a Master Actor, is what makes Double Trouble such a dangerous and effective spy, especially when combined with their Voluntary Shapeshifting abilities. They can easily infer the motivations of others and what they're likely to do next, and it never takes them long to figure out what makes them tick, or how to get under their skin. So not only can they look like anybody they want, they can impersonate them almost flawlessly, and have you believing they're your best friend, too. And once they've observed you closely for a little bit, they'll have such a firm grasp on your personality and motivations that they'll be able to deliver a brutal Breaking Speech effortlessly. | |

While Shiro is consistently the better technical player in No Game No Life's game-based battles, her brother Sora dominates anytime a social element is introduced. This is displayed in their first real battle, a chess game where the pieces have their own free will. Shiro's moves are perfect, but she stalls when the pawns won't sacrifice themselves just because she says so. Sora steps in at that point, addressing the chess pieces directly and delivering a Rousing Speech to motivate them to fight. Sora is so good at this, his opponent is convinced he's somehow using magic to cheat. | |

Izaya Orihara from Durarara!!, aside from being a complete Troll and Manipulative Bastard and claiming to "love humanity" (except for Shizuo), also performs his own social experiments. He searches for young girls online and makes suicide pacts with them before revealing it was just to see if they really would kill themselves. He has at least once staged a kidnapping/rescue just to see how someone would react, and this was because he was bored. When asked what Izaya studied in university, Narita answered he either studied psychology or anthropology. Also, according to Shizuo, Izaya is behind 99% of all the random conflicts in the city. Yes, Izaya is one hundred percent a dick. | |

Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto is about the teenage years of the Manipulative Bastard who inspired Niccolò Machiavelli to write The Prince. Even as a student, Cesare Borgia could charm anyone onto his side, and even at that age, he's using those skills — and a healthy dose of bribery — to win allies for his father Rodrigo ahead of the 1492 election that — spoiler alert — gets Rodrigo crowned as Pope Alexander VI. A lot of Cesare's plans seem to come from cynical self interest, but as original main character Angelo observes, they end up genuinely helping a lot of people even so. Cesare knows how to create the widest effect possible from a single move. | |
