Interesting list of traits of sociopathic manipulators.

Right here.

On the same page, I found myself both wincing and cracking up at the description of the "Guru" bully. Having seen several of those - I'd say that the 'autism' point is more relevant than the website guesses, though only that of the high-functioning variety and admittedly of an antisocial type (in the 'sociopathic tendencies' sense, not the 'doesn't like socializing' sense).

From observation, I'd suggest that the personality in question results from heavy cultivation of a talented but emotionally troubled young person with Asperger's tendencies during childhood or young adulthood. (And, to be crude about it, the personality appears more often in males because people have a greater tendency to fetishize boy geniuses.) God-complexes go together... spectacularly with functioning difficulties. Not spectacularly well, mind you. But spectacularly.

Sorry, just rifling through a few online-fraud sites due to the topic of Thanfiction. He's rare as far as non-consensually LARPing to such an... extent - but not as far as the deceptions themselves go, unfortunately.
