Line 72: * [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: initially a natural part of his personality, but {{spoiler\|gets turned right up once he's infected with, and manages to tame, the Summoning Dark}}. * [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Except that he [[The Fettered\|can stop it]]. ** [[~~This~~Punctuated! IsFor! ~~Sparta~~Emphasis!\|THAT! IS! NOT! MY! COW!]] * [[Technical Pacifist]]: He's not reluctant to do a [[Groin Attack]] or other dirty fighting but [[Thou Shalt Not Kill\|will avoid killing suspects at almost any cost]] because he believes that the law has a process that can be bent but not broken. * [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Vimes can't seem to let go of a blade without it sticking in something. Even a chisel. And it's [[Lampshade Hanging\|lampshaded every single time]]. Line 870: {{quote\|''Do not let me detain you.''}} Current Patrician of Ankh-Morpork. A thin, bearded man who dresses and lives in a Spartan manner ([[~~This~~Punctuated! IsFor! ~~Sparta~~Emphasis!\|no, not like that]]), his uncanny knowledge of human nature and unparalleled talent for scheming has allowed him to make Ankh-Morpork one of the finest cities on the Discworld, through economic and cultural might rather than force of arms. So good at his job that the Assassins' Guild will not take out contracts on him, because if he was ever not in control, Ankh-Morpork would collapse. Fortunately, [[Magnificent Bastard\|he is never, '''ever''' not in control]], not even when he's arrested and locked in a dungeon cell. It's '''his''' dungeon cell, after all. Succeeded "Mad Lord Snapcase". He is not named until ''[[Discworld/Sourcery\|Sourcery]]'', but [[Word of God]] is that the Patrician in ''[[Discworld/The Colour of Magic\|The Colour of Magic]]'' is him. It is possible Vetinari may not be entirely human, but this has yet to be proven.
