      Syn: {Deceiver}, {Impostor}.
  
      Usage: A deceiver operates by stealth and in private upon
                  individuals; an impostor practices his arts on the
                  community at large. The one succeeds by artful
                  falsehoods, the other by bold assumption. The
                  faithless friend and the fickle lover are deceivers;
                  the false prophet and the pretended prince are
                  impostors.
