One of the few human members of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Visit is a modern Omnian and therefore an evangelical preacher. His full name is Visit-The-Infidel-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets, which is a mouthful in Ankh-Morporkian (it is reputedly much simpler to say in the Omnian language), and describes an action that annoys his neighbors and colleagues. This approach is, however, much more peaceful than the traditional `visit the-infidels-with-swords-and thunderbolts' approach.

He is an Omnian of a gentle but determined proselytising nature. He can clear a large crowd in seconds, just by talking to them about religion and threatening them with pamphlets (principally Unadorned Facts and Battle Call - whose names bear a curious resemblance to the Roundworld publications Plain Truth and War Cry). In off-duty moments he goes door to door with his fellow Omnian, Smite-the-Unbeliever-with-Cunning-Arguments. Samuel Vimes says he is a good copper, his highest form of personal praise. Entire pubs have been known to draw the curtains, turn off the lights and lie on the floor whimpering at news of his coming down the street.

During Fred Colon's short reign as the Captain of the Watch (in The Fifth Elephant), Visit retreated to the safety of the carrier-pigeon loft. He sang them hymns and handed out some pamphlets, which the pigeons used as nesting material, but it was a start.

His nickname amongst fellow coppers appears to be "Washpot". He first appeared in Feet of Clay. He is referred to by Pratchett as follows: "There's one in every station, and Constable Visit was enough for two".
