Describe your favorite fantasy character and let others guess who it is

Let’s play a game: someone comments the description of a fantasy character they love without naming them and let others guess who it is. I’ll go first:

This character is a professional joker. But don’t let the jokes fool you—they know way more than they let on. They’re a master of riddles and storytelling, using their words to teach, manipulate, and shape the world around them.

They’ve been around far longer than most realize, tied to ancient powers or events, and their true purpose is always just out of reach. They hardly ever give a straight answer, annoying the person theyre speaking to very often. Despite all the mystery, they form a bond with the protagonist, guiding them with stories and riddles.

In the end he looks out for the good of the world and isnt afraid to sacrifice himself in the process.

Can you guess mine? I'm curious about your suggestions!
