A person willing to befriend any person regardless of race, creed, gender, sexuality or socioeconomic status in the relationship benefits them directly or indirectly by improving their public image. A pure opportunist may be a sociopath, if not they will possess sociopathic qualities. They are not to confused with a scammer or charlatan whose purpose in the moment is a singular task and is not concerned with allegations or their reputation. The opportunist always plays the long-con even if the actions are not scandalous it is still a con due to the fact the motivation is to always position one self to be able to capitalize on any future unforeseen opportunities without attracting suspicion. The opportunist is a illusionist and a mechanic who has a deck full of trump cards and can deal off the boom of the deck.
The man is a master opportunist, he got me an undeserved promotion then pressured me into unethical behavior as a favor, reported my actions and the company was vilified in the media while he purchased the closest competitor before the mews broke and cornered the market.
