SIR SAMUEL VIMES
(Discworld series, by Sir Terry Pratchett)
ShClage.pngrG0alsQ.pngby Mort

[Vimes'] full name and title is His Grace, The Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes. Other titles used occasionally are His Excellency, Ambassador for Ankh-Morpork, as well as Blackboard Monitor Vimes. [...] Vimes is the Commander of the City Watch, the burgeoning police force of the Discworld's largest city, Ankh-Morpork. His rise from alcoholic policeman to respected member of the aristocracy, and the growth and development of the Watch under his command, have together been one of the major threads of the Discworld series. Born into poverty, he is now a highly reluctant member of the nobility, having been made both a knight and a duke. He is married to Sybil Ramkin, the richest woman in the city.

[...]

Terry Pratchett noted the following about Vimes on the Usenet: "Vimes is fundamentally a person. He fears he may be a bad person because he knows what he thinks rather than just what he says and does. He chokes off those little reactions and impulses, but he knows what they are. So he tries to act like a good person, often in situations where the map is unclear."[1] This, along with the Discworld habit of pushing any theory as hard as it goes, appears to have culminated in Vimes' psyche creating its own "internal policeman" to "Guard the Guardsmen" (cf. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?), and Vimes' own sense of justice being so strong that, in Thud!, it was even able to fend off an attack by a 'quasi-demonic thing of pure vengeance'.

‘Good! You told me to drag them into the light! As far as they’re concerned, I am far-reaching consequences!'

Quote:
It wasn’t that he’d liked being shot at by hooded figures in the temporary employ of his many and varied enemies, but he’d always looked at it as some kind of vote of confidence. It showed that he was annoying the rich and arrogant people who ought to be annoyed.

Quote:
Vimes sighed. He was an honest man. He’d always felt that was one of the bigger defects in his personality.
