Lawful Evil Elf Mage Bard
Not necessarily bad in gaming terms, though oddly fitting for you, phantom.

He cares about tradition, loyalty, and order but not about freedom, dignity, or life. He plays by the rules but without mercy or compassion. He's comfortable in a hierarchy and would like to rule, but is willing to serve. He is loath to break promises, and he is therefore very cautious about giving his word unless a bargain is clearly in his favour.
The implications of the Elf part ought to be obvious, but let's just say it goes along well with being a mage, which is also self expalnitory.

Listed inspirations for bards include Taliesin, Homer, Will Scarlet and Alan-a-Dale.

Due to the way many of their skills and class traits are based on NPC interaction, a bard can be a very entertaining class for someone who enjoys roleplaying a lot as well as the gaming aspects of dungeons and dragons.
