Line 95:
* Tsubodai in the ''[[Conqueror]]'' books; he initially draws attention by helping Khasar and Temuge in a brawl. This draws the attention of Genghis Khan, who decides to reward Tsubodai helping his brothers by putting him in command of an arban. He comes up with several clever plans during the Mongol attacks on Xi Xia and Chin, and by the time Khwarezm has been taken, he is the second most respected man in the nation.
** Apparently Subutai was this in real life, too. By the time the Mongols invaded Europe he was 65 years old and so fat he could no longer ride a horse—so the Mongols loaded him into a cart and carried him to the battlefield, because they knew he was worth more than any number of horsemen.
* Gandalf tends to act like this in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.
* Admiral Speer is this in ''[[The Hunt for Red October]]''.
* ''[[The Art of War]]'' is basically a manual of how to be this trope.
