English term or phrase: genuine sole
"He is a warm spirited chap and a genuine sole."

This comes up in a male character description of a video game. Can anyone think of a good translation for "genuine sole"? Thanks so much in advance.

Explanation:
Man könnte den Satz vielleicht auch ein wenig wagemutig ganz umgestalten, um die Assoziation zum Schuster nicht zu verlieren.
