Greyhald "Tudgy" Spold (his nickname is mentioned in Moving Pictures and Lords and Ladies) was Head of the Ancient and Truly Original Sages of the Unbroken Circle (a.k.a. the Illuminated Mages of the Unbroken Circle) - one of the seven-and-one orders of Wizardry at Unseen University during the events of The Colour of Magic.

In The Light Fantastic, he sees Death looking at him oddly, and creates an extremely magical and complicated hiding place, using many rare and smelly oils, a paste made of powdered mayflies, the eightfold octogram of Witholding, red and green candles, protective amulets, and a box made of the wood of the curlyfern pine. Unfortunately, what all his preparations didn't take into account was that the box required air holes, and so the last words he heard were, Dark in here, isn't it?


In Moving Pictures, we learn that as a student he was a friend of Windle Poons and "Numbers" Riktor, and in Hogfather, you can read about Spold's Unstirring Divisor.
