'mastermind' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'he meets me in scr' is the wordplay.
'meets' says to put letters next to each other.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'he'+'me'='heme'
'heme' going within 'scr' is 'SCHEMER'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for schemer that I've seen before include "One making devious plans" , "He plots and plans" , "Secret plotter" , "Machiavellian type" , "Plotter, conspirator" .)
