In my decade long career, I've come across this situation a few times and it's always been due to a leadership gap. Somewhere in the chain, management is not doing their job. Without a solid technical lead with a management mandate, there is no way to change the behavior (or replace) such an individual. If you're a good developer, in such a situation you have two options: 1) Leave the job and find a new one. 2) Work with management to deal with the situation to change the person's behavior or change the person. #2 is MUCH MUCH harder than #1 in most cases. And it's very easy to hit a wall and get frustrated with it. If you can't switch jobs, I suggest you start working on option #2. Based on what you've described about this individual, you've likely reached the point where dealing with it one-on-one isn't going to work.
