charismatic (Trump? Ew, how?)
I've been calling it carnival barker energy. It's not exactly charisma, it's stage presence comprised mostly of speed, energy, and volume. And it's fucking catnip to morons apparently.

Giving the ring to someone powerful would almost inevitably result in corrupting them and (depending on just how powerful they were) would just make a new big bad. Hobbits work as ring bearers explicitly because they're not "special".
