Self-image ogres recalled in miser (7)
I believe the answer is:
scrooge
'miser' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'self-image ogres recalled' is the wordplay.
'self image' becomes 'ego' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ogres' becomes 'orcs' (I've seen this in another clue).
'recalled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'ego'+'orcs'='egoorcs'
'egoorcs' backwards is 'SCROOGE'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for scrooge that I've seen before include "Dickens's miser" , "Ebeneezer . . . . . . ., Dickensian miser (7)" , "Mean person" , "One mean with money" , "meanie" .)
