It exists in a backwater of the multiverse. You know, the books are absolutely fine.
The books are still there. They will always be there for all time. And The Watch is related to them, of course, but it's absolutely its own thing as well. Ultimately, he said he wants The Watch to stand on its own and that their goal is to "bring a new audience to these incredible books but also to make something that kind of works on its own terms. Vimes thought he could scare the man while showing him what it was like to be a copper. Instead, A. This action remains one of the few events to have totally shocked Vetinari, when he heard about it in Vimes' report ' Mr Pessimal?
E Pessimal? We are talking about the same person? Small man, very clean shoes? A short while later, A. Vimes' reason for taking A. Vimes reasons that A. As a condition of his employment, A. Vimes," saying that the man "earned it all in one go. He specialises in genetic experiments "bio-artificing" , which, on the Discworld, involves really small stitches.
His creations include a pet rabbit called Eerie, a particularly suitable name as he grows spare human ears on it. Another early experiment was breeding noses, which act as independent lifeforms until sewn on. Like with all Igors, Constable Igor is highly talented in successfully sewing back on arms, legs and other assorted body parts, even if they aren't the person's original bits. He was considered to have a speech impediment for not lisping, implying much of a Igor's strange behavior is purely out of traditional and showmanship.
Vimes employs him because of his surgery methods, which Vimes considered to be considerably more advanced than most of Ankh-Morpork's doctors, in that most of his patients survive, and he doesn't use hot tar. Constable Downspout , who first appears in Feet of Clay , is a surveillance expert for the Watch.
Being a gargoyle , he is capable of remaining motionless in one spot and watching for days at a time, a "world champion at not moving" as Vimes once put it. He has no use for money and instead receives his salary in pigeons , which he eats.
A gnome. Introduced in Jingo possibly in The Light Fantastic ; there was a gnome identified only as Swires , Buggy possesses the hard-nosed, bellicose personality typical of his species, proving able to shout down uncooperative witnesses despite being only six inches tall. He has since established himself as the sole member of the Watch's Airborne Section through his ability to tame various species of bird most recently a buzzard to act as aerial reconnaissance. He resembles the Nac Mac Feegle , tiny, heroic men use identical methods to tame birds for riding.
He appears to have the same strength as a normally sized human, compressed into a gnome's body; as a result, being headbutted by Buggy is like 'being hit with a steam-powered toffee hammer. Mentioned only in Thud! He is described as being an "amiable man with an amiable smile". He fights with two curved Agatean swords and nunchaku, which he calls 'Agatean numknuts' probably a reference to 'numchuks' a common term for the nunchaku in the United States.
Or a pun - see "numnuts". He is probably either an extremely competent fighter, or just a wild ninja wannabe. It is stated that he destroyed three practice dummies in thirty minutes. When not practicing, Hancock works for the "Grand Trunk" clacks company, supplying the Watch with information. Dwarf desk sergeant, killed just prior to the beginning of Night Watch by the serial killer known as Carcer. Introduced in Men at Arms. One of the first dwarf recruits who put aside his differences with trolls and became a good friend to Detritus.
Killed by Dr. Cruces towards the end of the story. There are hints that Carrot may have buried the " gonne " of the story, as well as the book containing the royal lineage, in Cuddy's coffin to keep it safe and to give Cuddy a good weapon for the afterlife. Two troll watchmen. Introduced in Men at Arms but only have very minor roles. They were the first two non-watchmen conscripted into the Carrot's 'Citizen's Militia' by Detritus he threatened to kick their goohuloog heads in. It is unclear however if these two trolls bear any resemblance to the two trolls, Flint and Morry, in Moving Pictures.
Flint was briefly elevated to sergeant under the tenure of Acting-Captain Fred Colon promoted to run the watch during the temporary resignations of Carrot and Angua while Vimes, Littlebottom and Detritus were serving as ambassadors to Uberwald in The Fifth Elephant , much to the annoyance of Nobby Nobbs, who had been obviously gunning for the promotion himself.
The Watch's largest Troll officer, Bluejohn is a gentle and retiring troll. He is so big that he is used as the riot shield for the rest of the Watch officers and he is often used during crowd control. This is because, wherever he is sent, he is the crowd.
Introduced in The Fifth Elephant , he has a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. In the midst of a murder investigation, he takes a moment to inform Commander Sir Samuel Vimes that 'ping' is a dialect word, meaning watermeadow. He also appears in Night Watch. Has not been seen or mentioned since, except indirectly in Feet of Clay , when Carrots writes to his parents that there are now "secret policemen".
Sworn in by Fred Colon during the events of Feet of Clay. Was made a special Watchman for that night. His species was not stated at the time, but he is described as tiny and angry like a Gnome; like Buggy Swires , he has human strength in a six-inch body.
He speaks with Rob Anybody while he is 'in prison' who confirms Arthur is a Feegle. Arthur travels back to the Downs and takes up residence for a while in the mound with the rest of his new clan, occasionally running into difficulties due the Feegle's traditional distrust of policemen.
