Rock Star: that guy who shows up late and worked on a hit project 15 years ago that he's always bringing up.

You forgot to mention "brings his katana to meetings" (the sword, not the Suzuki motorcycle).

It's kind of "friend-of-a-friend", but I had a boss who told me about working with a developer who actually did that, I think at a game company in the late 80s.
