Line 121:
* [[Dragonlance|Raistlin Majere]] is another arrogant [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]] magician who is ''really'' that good. He managed to defeat all the gods of Krynn and achieve godhood in an alternate time line, after all.
** From memory he was only beaten with his own assistance, too...
* The Wizard Saruman from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' is like this. But Denethor is an even better example. Both are even insufferable toward Gandalf, which in Saruman's case is hardly justified, and in Denethor's case is remarkably cheeky.
** Gandalf, for those not familiar with Tolkien's 'verse, is basically a ''demi-god'' working for [[The Powers That Be]].
* T'Passe from ''[[The Acts of Caine]]''. She's very much philosophically inspired by Caine, the series' protagonist. She meets him in prison, and is proud to discover Caine could hear her lecturing the other prisoners from his separate cell - until Caine explains that he was desperately waiting for someone to knife her.
