General Tacticus

General Callus Tacticus is a legendary soldier and military leader. He was a soldier of the Ankh-Morpork Empire, and is widely proclaimed to be the greatest general of all time. In fact, the word 'tactics' was derived from his name. Though he is long dead, his legacy lives on.

Tacticus conquered a large area of the Discworld, both around the base city of Ankh-Morpork and well into the hubward continent of Klatch. At one point, the far-flung city of Genua, having run out of royalty of their own, asked Ankh-Morpork for a Duke. Tacticus was made a Duke and sent there. Immediately upon becoming a Genuan citizen, he evaluated the military threats posed by other nations, and declared war on Ankh-Morpork.
