The Wizards are major characters in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Their title is said to be derived from the archaic word "Wys-ars", meaning one who, at bottom, is very wise.
Wizards (at least the ones of the Unseen University) are described as belonging to one of the eight orders of wizardry, currently named:
The Ancient and Truly Original Brothers of the Silver Star
The Brotherhood of the Hoodwink (The Hoodwinkers)
The Order of Midnight
The Venerable Council of Seers
The Ancient and Truly Original Sages of the Unbroken Circle
The Sages of the Unknown Shadow
Mrs Widgery's Lodgers
The Last Order (The Other Order)
This short series takes you on a bimble along a narrow country lane. Although the lane is often only as wide as carriage, you may find the odd spot here or there to park a motorised vehicle. Our suggestion is that you go for a stroll and admire the countryside while you are at it.
#6 : Ymper Trymon
Ymper Trymon was an unusually thoughtful and organized 7th level wizard featured in The Light Fantastic. He differed from other wizards in that he didn't smoke, believed that magic should be performed with a minimum of flash and pomp, and would prefer language to be replaced with an easily understood numerical system.
He was a student at the Unseen University at the same time as Rincewind, but while Rincewind was a hopeless student mocked and derided by tutor and pupil alike, Trymon was always very good at magic, and his teachers said 'he'd go far'. There was always something unnerving about him though, in his manner and in his eyes. People were often left with the disturbing impression that he wasn't quite there, and he had a grey soulless quality about him that, should they have a recruitment policy, would have made him a fine candidate for the Auditors of Reality.
