First [[dwarfs|dwarf]] member of the [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch]], hired under the first steps of Lord [[Havelock Vetinari|Vetinari]]'s "special hiring procedures", at the same time as [[Detritus]] (a [[trolls|troll]]) and [[Angua von Überwald|Angua]] (a [[werewolves|werewolf]]), both of whom are now sergeants in the Watch.
