I can think of an example of a "generous narcissist".
I have a friend whose father was not only a pastor, but he was also a principal of a school. Outwardly, he seemed like a very honorable and kind person.
Meanwhile, he was abusing his family in heinous ways at home. That abuse extended to select children in the school and the church. But because of his reputation, nobody believes the victims.
It's about image. It's about creating a defense to protect them from accusations.

How was he a narcissist? Are you just assuming because he was abusive?

No, there were very obvious signs of narcissism, as well as sociopathic behavior.

Ah I only asked cause i was going to say that the behavior sounded more sociopathic to me but this makes sense.
