Hacknee was a dwarf constable in the Ankh-Morpork City Watch during the events of The Fifth Elephant. While the watch was under the command of acting-captain Colon, who tactfully suggested that dwarves should be paid half that of the humans, 'as they were only half our size' and that trolls should not get double pay despite being twice human size as 'they were only half as intelligent'. With attitudes such as that Hacknee joined Abba Stronginthearm and other experianced watchmen in quitting the watch as looking for work elsewhere. As a result by the time Carrot Ironfoundersson returned the watch consisted of just five officers; Dorfl, Reg Shoe, Visit, Nobby Nobbs and Fred Colon who was barricaded in the watch house guarding the three remaining suggerlumps.
