Characters/People edit see section history

  • Rincewind: Unusually inept wizard who has accidentally saved the discworld more times than people do it on purpose. Always running away right into the thick of trouble. If you enjoy a nice quiet life where you keep both feet on the ground (and in the same dimension) and seldom enjoy being in mortal danger then avoid this man like the plague. Sometimes merely mentioning his name can prove to be a costly mistake.
  • Conina: Daughter of Cohen The Barbarian. Wants to be a Hair Dresser.
  • Nijel: Add a description of this character.
  • Creosote
  • Spelter
