Moist von Lipwig

Moist von Lipwig is reformed conman, now Ankh-Morpork's Postmaster General. He was invited to take up his new position of his own free will by the Patrician (the offered alternatives being hanging or suicide, again of his own free will), and managed to revive the Post Office by applying the principles of the con to honest work.

He wears a golden suit with a wingèd cap when on duty, and, without it, looks like someone you wouldn't really notice. He is in something approaching a relationship with Adora Belle Dearheart.

Moist's most notable trait is that he is unnoticeable. He is unrecognisable and uses this to his advantage by donning a selection of easily removable distinguishable features. He's about twenty or thirty and between 5ft 9 and 6ft 2 according to the numerous descriptions handed in to various watches across the plains; however, reliable sources have revealed that he says he is actually 26.

He's an expert forger and uses a wide range of inks and papers that he stores in what he calls "Mr. Robinson's Box". He uses these skills as a forger and related tools to ensure the post office stamps impossible to copy. He seems to have tendencies towards kleptomania as he just can't help helping himself to items left lying around by honest, careless businessmen.
