'''Jabbar''' is the official wise man of a tribe of [[D'reg|D'regs]] met by [[Sam Vimes]] during the events of {{J}}.

:Carrot: "He's their... well, he's like an official wise man."
:Vimes: "Oh, so he's not the one who tells them (i.e. the D'regs) to charge?"
:Carrot: "No, that's the leader. Whenever they have one."
:Vimes: "So perhaps Jabbar tells them when it's wise to charge?"
:Jabbar: "It's always wise to charge, offendi."

He is a bearded man, as befits a Son of the Desert in [[Klatch]], and has a sly edge to him. He is a likeable fellow, although one who would cheerfully kill anybody whom he disliked or from a different tribe. He tries to test Vimes with such ordeals as eating a sheeps eyeball, but is impressed when Vimes won't fall for it.

He owns a camel called [[Evil Brother-in-law of a Jackal]].

He takes Vimes to meet [[71-hour Ahmed]] deep in the desert, and helps win the incipient war before it becomes one.
