	*Interesting that WMA should be identified as a Geordie: the animosity between Jocks (Scottish) and Geordies (North Eastern English, Newcastle), across the old Scottish-English border, is historically a fact, and is possibly reflected in WMA's attitude to the Feegle raiding on his turf. A long running comic strip in British children's comic ''The Dandy'' was in fact called ''The Jocks and the Geordies'' - relating to the eternal cross-border war.		* Interesting that WMA should be identified as a Geordie: the animosity between Jocks (Scottish) and Geordies (North Eastern English, Newcastle), across the old Scottish-English border, is historically a fact, and is possibly reflected in WMA's attitude to the Feegle raiding on his turf.

'''Wee Mad Athur''' has been described as an urbanised [[Nac Mac Feegle]], although he was raised as a gnome. Fiendishly strong, and suspiciously Geordie, he kills rats for free (because he can sell them on to the many dwarfish eateries in the city), though he is not a member of the [[Ratcatchers' Guild]].

He lived primarily in the sewers of [[Ankh-Morpork]]. After an encounter with [[Fred Colon]] Arthur was hired as a special Watchman. His Watch helmet is a converted salt shaker, and he uses a full-size Watchman's badge as a shield.

His association with the Watch persisted all the way up to {{ISWM}}, when [[Carrot]] used him as the city's last line of defence against raiding Feegle (who were wrecking a pub). Arthur took on thirty Feegle and ''won'', testament to his fighting ability and suicidal lunacy. He knocked out and arrested [[Rob Anybody]], [[Daft Wullie]], and [[Big Yan]] in quick succession.

Raised as a gnome, sadly Arthur was no good at shoe repairs - he later learned that this was because he was actually a [[Pictsie]], just like the wee free men he had arrested. However, being unaware of his made him very well educated and, well, clean. After spending some time with the clan though, he decided to take a leave-of-absence from the Ankh-Morpork City Watch for the present time, and embrace his inner Feegle. This, of course, opens-up the possibility of a new Watch to be founded in the hills of [[The Chalk]]...

In {{SN}} he had returned to the Watch and had been taught Feegle secrets such as the craw-step, which he used to travel to [[Howandaland]] to investigate the tobacco plantation there.
