This fictional character in George du Maurier's 1894 novel Trilby created a stereotype of the evil hypnotist that persists to this day. The name of the character has entered the English language meaning a person who, with evil intent, manipulates another into doing what is desired. It is frequently used for any kind of coach who seems to exercise an extreme degree of domination over a performer.
Which character/word?
