What will be the perfect word for the meaning of non-progressive wise man?

I am searching for a single English word which means ‘a person who is wise but uses his knowledge as negatively for the progress of the society’. English is not my mother language. Please help me. Many thanks in advance.

Update:

Who is wise but evil.
