Ymper Trymon is an unusually thoughtful and organized wizard (for example, he doesn't smoke, believes that magic should be performed with a minimum of flash and pomp, and would prefer language to be replaced with an easily understood numerical system), who is featured in The Light Fantastic. He is not unusual among Wizards in that he believes in the tradition of Dead Men's Pointy Shoes, making repeated, and largely unsuccessful, attempts on the life of Archchancellor Galder Weatherwax, whose position he nonetheless manages to obtain after he is eaten by the Luggage. Trymon's auditor-like view of the world allows forces from the Dungeon Dimensions to enter his mind, giving him immense power and abilities, such as turning the eight heads of the Orders of Wizardry into stone, and eventually transforming him into a seething mass of tentacles. However this does not prevent a combined effort by Rincewind and Twoflower from causing him to plummet to a sticky end from the top of the Tower of Art.

He possesses a similar quality to Death, in that prolonged exposure to him makes most people uncomfortable, though this manifests itself less in a nagging terror, and more as a desire to visit violence upon him.
