Cecil Wormsborough St John Nobbs, usually called Nobby, has a long history in the Pratchett world, most of which is unsavoury. This probably pertains to his person rather than any particular act: Nobby, perhaps, should have been disqualified from the human race (for shoving). Nobby likes to take small things that nobody is watching, but that perhaps is not very rare in Ankh-Morpork. He had been a street urchin, and it appears that he has never grown out of the habits he acquired back then. Nobby ain't half bad, and he looks after his mates, but he looks after himself first, as you do, and I didn't do it, it was Fred, see?

Nobby has been a corporal in the Ankh-Morpork City Watch for quite a while, and is quite determined to stay at that rank. Nobby knows all about why not to volunteer no matter how many incentives are offered. He has been in many military regiments, and was once Quartermaster for the Pseudopolis army; Pseudopolis always lost its wars due to a mysterious shortage of weapons. In his spare time, Nobby is a member of the Ankh-Morpork Folk Dance and Song Society and the historical re-enactment society, the Peeled Nuts. During his old friend Fred Colon's short reign as Captain of the Watch, Nobby served as the opposition leader, President of the Watchmen's Guild. <br><br><p align="right"><a href="http://wiki.lspace.org/wiki/Samuel_Vimes">read more</a></p>
