'storyteller' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'buckled horn carried by vagrant cleric' is the wordplay.
'buckled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'carried by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'vagrant' indicates anagramming the letters (vagrant can mean wandering around).
'horn' with letters rearranged gives 'hron'.
'cleric' anagrammed gives 'cicler'.
'hron' placed within 'cicler' is 'CHRONICLER'.

'has' is the link.
