Sage and worldly character (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
wise man
This could be a double definition.
'sage' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'worldly character' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wise man that I've seen before include "Sage" , "Fellow with a gift" , "Experienced veteran" .)
