Discworld Noir - Full List of Characters

Full List of Characters

This is the full list of characters in the game. They are noted in the rough order of which they appear in the game.

  • Lewton - the protagonist of the game; Lewton is a cynical and bitter private detective who later becomes infected with lycanthropy. Formerly a member of the Watch, he was fired by Vimes for accepting a bribe during a period of depression following the departure of his lover, Ilsa. After spending years as a drunkard and wallowing in depression, he became the Discworld's first Private Investigator; partially so he can afford to pay his bar tab and rent, but mainly because investigation is one of his only talents.
  • Carlotta Von Überwald - a rich woman who hires Lewton at the beginning of the game to track someone down; she also goes by the name of 'Therma', given to her by her troll foster parents.
  • Mr Scoplett - the first mate on the Milka; he picked up a bad case of Philosophy in Ephebe, which is a bit of a drawback when you are supposed to be navigating. One minute you are fine, the next you are wondering if anything can be truly said to exist.
  • Captain Jenkins - the captain on the Milka; bitter and unhelpful. Desires a harem of exotic dancers called 'Chantelle'.
  • Malachite - an unintelligent troll of few words, sent by Jasper Horst to hinder events unfolding.
  • Corporal Nobby Nobbs - the sneaky, lazy, thieving Watchman still retains his friendship with Lewton, and occasionally offers good advice and actually does some work.
  • Mankin - a half-elf bartender who doesn't appreciate people asking lots of questions.
  • Sapphire - a troll singer at The Octarine Parrot, blackmailing Therma along with Regin.
  • Samael - owner of Café Ankh and an accomplished pianist. Presumably a black ribboner as he is a vampire.
  • Ilsa Varberg - an ex-lover of Lewton who is back in town with her husband.
  • Al Khali - a dwarf named after a city working for Jasper Horst; he is first discovered snooping through the drawers of Lewton's desk, and appears in Lewton's office later armed with an axe. Investigation suggests a theory that he is possibly named after Al Khali due to the unrelenting winds.
  • Two Conkers - Ilsa's husband; a foreigner from the Counterweight Continent visiting after Cohen's invasion.
  • Rhodan - a very forgetful sculptor, part-time plaster surgeon for trolls.
  • The Watchman - an unnamed watchman on Pier Five who delivers the immortal line, "sharp as a pancake you are". In Lewton's own words, "blisteringly unhelpful".
  • The Butler - a butler at the Von Überwald mansion; overuses the word "sir" and is stereotypically sarcastic and condescending. Worries about Lewton damaging the hardwood floor.
  • Count Henning Von Überwald - a rich man and father-in-law to Carlotta; he is crippled and very ill.
  • Mundy - a courier and the man you are originally asked to track down; he briefly had the Tsortese Falchion.
  • Vimes - the head of the Watch, apparently holds a grudge against Lewton.
  • Remora Selachii - an assassin who occasionally appears to add tension to events.
  • Whirl - a croupier at Saturnalia, doesn't give anything away for free.
  • Warb - a depressed wizard and a True Believer of Anu-anu.
  • Malaclypse - a conspiracy theorist who serves the goddess Errata - see Malaclypse the Younger.
  • Mooncalf - a mad cultist who serves Anu-anu.
  • Jasper Horst - an intelligent troll in search of the golden falchion.
  • Regin - a dwarf who is employed to drive the Count's carriage.
  • Sergeant Detritus - a dim-witted troll Watchman, plays the bad cop in Lewton's interrogation. 'If you want to fall down the stairs to your cell without leaving your chair it fine by me.'
  • Leonard de Quirm - an inventor and technological genius; kept prisoner in the Patrician's palace and currently working on the Flapping-Wing-Flying-Device.
  • Lord Vetinari - the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, overheard through a door during his conversation with Vimes.
  • Clark's Gable - a rooftop gargoyle with a gutter in his mouth, witness to at least two murders. A direct reference to Clark Gable
  • The Doorman - a stubborn doorman to the Guild of Archaeologists.
  • Laredo Cronk - an upwardly nubile tomb evacuator; a direct parody of Lara Croft.
  • Gaspode the Wonderdog - a mangy stray dog who teaches Lewton about his werewolf abilities. He talks, too.
  • Mrs Fomes - head chambermaid of the New Hall at Unseen University.
  • Death - the harvester of mankind, everyone's favourite seven-foot skeleton. Useful to Lewton's murder inquiries, but reluctant to help.
  • Death of Rats - a harvester of ratkind.
  • The Gatekeeper - a gatekeeper at the Merchant's Guild, not allowed to talk about 'the incident'.
  • Foid - a troll who is a True Believer of Anu-Anu.

Famous quotes containing the words full, list and/or characters:

    After us they’ll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they’ll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, “Oh! Life is so hard!” and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Of the other characters in the book there is, likewise, little to say. The most endearing one is obviously the old Captain Maksim Maksimich, stolid, gruff, naively poetical, matter-of- fact, simple-hearted, and completely neurotic.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
