A Klatchian law enforcement officer, equivalent to a policeman, who operates in the desert regions. His name derives from the fact that he once waited only seventy-one hours before executing a convicted criminal, when tradition demanded seventy-two - making him notoriously impatient by Klatchian standards. He is tall, bearded, and carries a curved sword. Despite initially appearing as an antagonist, he proves to be a kindred spirit to Vimes - a man who believes in law and justice regardless of politics.
