Serafine von Überwald

From Discworld & Pratchett Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Sergeant Delphine (Angua) von Überwald's bitch of a mother - and I say that advisedly. A werewolf of the old school, Serafine is married to Baron Guye. Between them they have sired both Angua and Wolfgang.

Serafine went to school with Lady Sybil Ramkin, and receives a Hogswatch card from her each year, to which she never replies. She displays a great deal of contempt for Sybil, and Vimes especially, though not in their presence. Generally speaking, she bows to her son in most matters, though she does attempt, half-heartedly, to civilize both Guye and Wolfgang, at least on the issue of clothing and basic table manners.

Having married Guye, her family motto is Homo Homini Lupus - Every Man is a Wolf to Other Men. On Roundworld, this was popular Roman proverb, originally written by Plautus (died 184 B. C.) in his Asinaria.
