===Others=== * '''Twoflower''' is an accountant from the fantasy-China region of Agatea, who manages to leave the traditionally highly reclusive nation for a tourist visit to Ankh-Morpork. This ultimately leads to a revolution in Agatea when he publishes a book about what he did on his holidays, inadvertently revealing that life does not have to be the highly rigid, formalized tyranny under which the country exists. * '''The Luggage''' is TwoFlower's luggage chest... and is sentient.. and walks on dozens of little human feet... and has massive white teeth... and you could swear it licked its 'lips' just after swallowing the unsuspecting seagull. Luggage is made out Sapient Pearwood, an extraordinarily rare, magical, and (duh) sapient wood; the last bits of SP in Ankh-Morpork are wizards' staves, and those guys would [[RIP AND TEAR|be very interested in obtaining some more from you through negotiation]]. Being a magical object means that Luggage has [[Bag of Holding|unlimited carrying capacity]] and a mind of its own - and The Luggage is like a nasty bulldog, suspiciously cuddly, loyal only to his master, and you can never be sure when he will bite anything else, just for the kicks of it. After TwoFlower's adventures with Rincewind, Luggage decides to change its master to the wizzzard, showing across later Rincewind's mishaps all of his abilities, which also include [[bullshit|interdimensional travel]]. * '''Cohen the Barbarian''' is essentially what you get if you ask "What if [[Conan the Barbarian]] lived to be an old codger but never stopped doing the Barbarian Hero schtick?" A cranky and bitter old bastard who is deeply offended at having outlived the era of the Barbarian Hero, sneering at how the world has gotten so soft and straitlaced since his youth. After doing just about everything else there is for a Barbarian Hero to do, up to and including becoming Agatean Emperor, his dissatisfaction with the state of the world and its lack of respect for the Barbarian Heroes who ultimately carved out the foundations for civilization leads him to try and firebomb the gods themselves. Ultimately, Cohen sacrifices himself to save the world (from himself, of course), refuses to believe heβs dead, mugs the Valkyries sent to bring him to warrior heaven, and sets off to find adventure in worlds beyond. * '''Rhys Rhysson''' is the current Low King of the Dwarves after the events of ''Thud!'' Making dwarves agree on most anything is difficult as it is, but Rhysson has spent his entire term dealing with the fallout of the cultural shocks caused by the dwarf diaspora on the plains interacting with humans and trolls much more than their mountain kin do, including such upheavals as the revelation that there might be more than one gender, the emergence of a religious extremist movement in response to Ankh-Morpork's cultural hegemony, and the discovery of evidence that would finally answer the question of what exactly had happened at Koom Valley, the first formal battle in the on-and-off war/continuous racial enmity between dwarves and trolls. * '''Mr. Shine''' is the current Diamond King of Trolls, a Diamond Troll whose unparalleled strength and intelligence makes him the traditional ruler of his race. In the past, Diamond Kings would inevitably use their ability to unite and rally the clans to wage war on the Dwarves, but Mr. Shine, in a rapidly modernizing world, has bigger plans. * '''Lady Margolotta''' is a female vampire and an intimate acquaintance of Vetinari. She was a founding member of the Black Ribbon temperance league and became the de facto ruler of much of (aboveground) Uberwald after the dissolution of the Evil Empire/Unholy Empire/Uberwaldean Sorcerous Republic, an unstable mix between the USSR's satellite state network, the Holy Roman Empire at its least functional, and a number of "evil wizard's dark domain" tropes that never really had much political organization beyond "Do what the Dark Lord says or he'll sic the orcs on you". Lady Margolotta spends much of her time trying to drag Uberwald out of its dysfunctional feudalism and into the modern era- this is probably mostly in service of continuing her long-distance Thud game with Vetinari with as much efficiency as possible, but it's certainly had an effect on the power-hungry reactionary movements that keep cropping up in the power vacuum the Evil Emperor left behind.
