'monk' is the definition.
(title for a monk)

'leader of rebels in trouble' is the wordplay.
'leader of' suggests taking the first letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'trouble' becomes 'bother' (synonyms).
The first letter of 'rebels' is 'r'.
'r' placed within 'bother' is 'BROTHER'.

'possibly gets' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
