wartime consigliere

A senior advisor with the cunning and ruthlessness needed to defeat an enemy during times of open conflict. Unconstrained by the caution and deliberation called for during regular business order.

Tom Hagen advised the Corleone's well as it grew into the Mafia's pre-eminent family; but he wasn't a wartime consigliere.
