Vimes was educated at a dame school, where he was ...
During the first 25 years of his term in the Watch, Vimes rose to Captain of the Night Watch, a position that he attained about ten years prior to the events of Guards! Guards!, as it dwindled to a tiny stub – while the power of the Thieves' Guild grew. This insult to Vimes' sense of justice, together with his being naturally knurd (the opposite of...

Vimes has seen involvement with 1. William de Worde, Otto Chriek and The Ankh-Morpork Times in The Truth 2. The war between Borogravia and Zlobenia (and everyone else in the regio...
