Chariot sometimes. He just blows by everyone of insignificance when ill-dignified
I'm also thinking Chariot. Thanks.

Thank you Barleywine. As usual your assessments are quite erudite. A lot to think on here. Of course, I'm sure you are aware there are two forms of narcissistic: overt and covert. I'm going to check Crowley on this. I think I need to actually study Crowley much more than I have. I have his books and deck, but rarely use them.
Magician, Devil, Nine of Cups in certain combinations. Knight of Wands (mainly reverse) would be the player in my spreads. Chariot could be, but he’s more of a douche. But I have to stress that this is true, for me, only in certain spreads and combinations. King of Swords is proud and probably a little narcissistic, though, I wouldn't take it as an indication in itself.
Crowley's characterizations of what he calls the "moral qualities" of the court cards are some of the best out there from a behavioral psychology standpoint, even though he wasn't thinking of them in those terms as far as I know. I imagine they were based on older ideas of temperament and constitution.
For a deck-specific answer, Narcissus is the Page Cups in the Mythic Tarot.
I'm thinking of a "manipulative" personality as opposed to someone who has psychological problems or addictions. The Magician Rx fits absolutely. I see the Magician Rx as the Devil, so I think the Devil upright fits, but not necessarily Rx. Thanks for the thoughts.
Some Hierophants do operate in insufferably self-aggrandizing ways that spill out from their assumed cloaks of "humble servitude"... The Chosen Ones who speak only the "Right" words and have the only voice really worth listening to, if you have any sense at all (so you'd better listen and heed -- ignoring the observations, doubts, and reasoning of your own silly, "disrespectful" brains -- if you know what's good for you, etc.)...The Devil and the Pope (esp. rv) would appear to me to be another combination. The Pope is a character who expects his every word to be considered law.
