Learn English – a noun for “one who is adroit”

nouns

I'm looking for a noun meaning "one who is adroit" or "one who is clever/skillful". Can I use the word "adroit" as a noun? All my googling has only turned up the noun-form "adroitness", which is clearly not what I'm after.

Adept can be used as a noun meaning exceptionally skilled at one thing or many things in general. It's a bit archaic to use it as a noun, but I suppose adroit isn't all that common a word, either. :)
