Minstrel (IEE)
Provocateur
Dominating subtypeReads people in order to unsettle them. It finds the pretension in a room and pokes it with a joke, a jab or a public dare, and a crowd forms around the irreverence. It is steady and thick-skinned, keeps its own cards hidden, and rarely loses its composure while others lose theirs.
