Big Jim Beef is a troll from Lancre, where he is employed by Verence II as guard, passport and border control and general help to Shawn Ogg. He lives under Lancre Bridge, and has an official helmet and black and yellow pole to put across the road (save for those times when the pole is being used at the other border crossing).
Didn't come off well in a fight with the Librarian.
As Customs Officer for Lancre, Big Jim would be happy to confiscate any of dat pornography, and der pornograph dat you play it on.

This is pretty advanced thinking, for a troll.
