The expert can be many things; craftsman, merchant, tradesman, politician, criminal. There are two things he is not; Aristocrat and Commoner. While they may ape the behavior and styles of the aristocracy (and indeed even rival them for wealth and power) they can never quite achieve the same prestige.
