Bestiality Carter, one of the Lancre Morris Men mentioned in Lords and Ladies, is a baker by profession. His parents understood that girls should be named after virtues. Thus, his sisters (in order of birth, according to Lords and Ladies) are:

However, they got a bit mixed up, and assumed that boys should be named after vices/deadly sins. Thus, his brothers are:

  • Anger Carter
  • Jealousy Carter
  • Covetousness Carter
  • Deviousness Carter (the youngest, mentioned in Maskerade)

Ironically, all the Carters display traits opposite to their names: Bestiality's sisters have vices that are the opposite of their names, while his brothers have virtues that are the opposite of their names.

Bestiality himself helped defeat the elves during the events of Lords and Ladies by helping the other Morris Men perform one of the most dangerous of battle Morrises they know, which leaves a trail of mortally wounded elves stricken about the hills of Lancre.
