Greek character help

[l0rca]

I'm trying to remember this one guy's name. He acted stupid (I think I remember a key word being 'fool') so that others would underestimate him. I can't remember anything other than that.

Can anyone help?

No-one's provided the obvious shmartass reply yet, so I gotta jump in. Like a junkie for the needle I've been twitching watching this thread get no response.

A Greek character, hmm? El Greco?

Ahh, the weight is gone!

Mr. Tau?

Can't remember precisely, this was soo long ago...

With a stretch of the imagination, could be Diogenes of Sinope or some other Cynic.

Are we talking about a fictitious, mythological or real character here?
