Banjo Lilywhite
From Discworld & Pratchett Wiki
A huge, bald man with thirteen fingers, brother to Medium Dave. Used as the muscle in Medium Dave's operations. Despite his age, he still maintained belief in the Hogfather and other childhood fantasies. Led by Jonathan Teatime, he journeyed to the Tooth Fairy's Tower in an attempt to assassinate the Hogfather.
In the end, he replaced the late Tooth Fairy and took up residence in her tower. Presumably he is still there.
His aliases include:
- Reginald Lilywhite (true name)
- Park Lane Bully
- Goose Gate Grabber
- Nap Hill Lurker
Annotation
A piece of Scottish/British Army slang, thus far not taken up by the Pictsies: to banjo has a colloquial meaning of "to beat up, to batter somebody senseless". This is an ever-present risk from the younger Lilywhite.
