The Celibate Eccentric Genius is Exactly What It Says on the Tin — an intellectually brilliant, eccentric character who does not, in canon, engage in sexual or romantic entanglements. They may or may not be considered a potentially desirable partner by others, but to count as this trope, their celibacy must be, to some degree, voluntary — an eccentric genius who just can't get a date does not qualify.
