Answer:

Anyone who believed they could fool death by their cleverness.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the book, The Masque of the Red Death, Prince Prospero is a vain man who believes that he can cheat death be being clever or using his material possessions.

When the Red Death begins to kill people, he tries to save himself by being clever and using his riches to protect himself but he could not escape the plague.
