The qualities of that of Ophiucus, but perhaps if you mix Scorpio with Sagittarius you may come up with something along the right lines.
Ophiuchus is the Serpent holder or the snake charmer, the snake is a constellation in it own right called Serpens. Another name for this constellation is Serpentarius, which I think is a far more evocative and pleasant sounding name, apart from it being easier to spell.
The myth surrounding this constellation is that of Aesculapius, a medicine man so gifted that he was able to perform the miraculous feat of bringing the dead back to life. Zeus was so enraged by this mere physician playing god that he destroyed him with a thunderbolt. Apparently however, it was Hades that provoked this, complaining that fewer souls were being sent down to the underworld as a result. The centaur Chiron raised Aesculapius and his mother is said to be Corvus the crow. That is interesting as this constellations hasn’t got a great reputation either.
