Lord Charles Venturi was the head of his household in the court of Lord Winder during the events of Night Watch. He and Lord Selachii cordially detested one another. Or at least, their families traditionally did. He was also much married, all to the same woman. When talking to Lady Roberta Meserole he was acutely aware that his wife's radar 'could fry an egg at fifty paces'.

[edit] Annotation

Very impressively, on Roundworld, a "Venturi" meter is to do with controlling the flow of jets and "Selachian" means "of sharks". Sharks and Jets. Gettit? The warring factions in West Side Story, based on the Capulets and the Montagues of Romeo and Juliet. Very, very clever indeed.
