In Jingo, [[Samuel Vimes]] made friends with them unintentionally by the dangerous expedient of giving their (then) leader an Ankhian Handshake. This commited them to (i) a change of leader, as anyone foolish enough to let himself be taken in like that couldn't have been worth following; and (ii) seventy-two hours worth of hospitality extended to Vimes's 'regiment'. <br />
<br />
This is a crucial seventy-two hours, as the D'Regs are quite prepared to transfer their loyalties to a leader (Vimes) who is mad enough to be not only hopelessly outnumbered, but to charge both sides simultaneously, as they manoeuvre into battle. (This is helped by [[71-hour Ahmed]] innocently confusing the words of command which a camel understands as "Speed up!" and "For Gods' sake stop!")<br />

<br />
The name ''D'reg'' is a combination of [[Roundworld]]'s [[wikipedia:Tuareg|''Tuareg'']] nomadic Arab peoples, who are generally warlike when antagonised, and ''Dreg'' as in the "dregs of humanity" - dregs, for non-English speakers, being the horrible bits left at the bottom of a cup of coffee, tea or barrel of beer: the worst bits.<br />
