The '''Abbot''' is the highest leader of the [[History Monks]] (the Men in Saffron) in the [[Oi Dong]] (No-Such) monastery. This Abbot should not be confused with the [[Abbot Lobsang|Abbot]] of the [[Listening Monks]] mentioned in {{M}}.

It appears the Abbot hasn't mastered the art of circular aging used by the monks, so he has to use re-incarnation. This means that every few decades he is reborn, but he keeps his centuries-old mind capable of thinking in 16 dimensions. Is presumably the same as the 493rd Abbot (he of the wrinkled hands) encountered in ''Small Gods'' dispatching [[Lu-Tze]] to [[Omnia]]. Obvious [[Roundworld]] counterpart: the Dalai Lama.

A genius of no short order, he was once seen playing a game of chess against [[Death]]. And seemingly winning as he was the only one of the two who had an inkling '{{death|how the little horse-shaped ones move}}.'

Credited (by Lu-Tze) with figuring out how the [[Yeti]] 'saved' their lives up to a certain point and then blithely approached potentially dangerous situations confident in the knowledge that if they were to end in serious peril they could return to a previous point with prememberance (to quote [[Lobsang Ludd]] before he became the avatarian incarnation of [[Time]]) of what would happen if they followed the same course. This is, of course, a sly nod at certain computer games where exactly this is ''de rigeur'' if players are uncertain or low on life approaching an unknown door.

Found in {{TOT}} as a toddler, being in the very early stages of his latest incarnation. This leads to embarrassment all round when he is breast-feeding... Struggles with maintaining erudition in his speech, as mumbles and baby-talk creep in.

Has an irritating, smug and petty-minded Chief Acolyte named [[Rinpo]], who has a known dislike of disorder, disobedience and Lu-Tze. With seeming child-like simplicity and innocence the Abbot keeps 'accidentally' whacking Rinpo with a wooden toy or upending sloppy food down his robes.

Accorded the highest honour when Lobsang (as the incarnate Lord of Time) bowed before him at Oi Dong.
