Rincewind

Rincewind is a character in the Discworld books - a failed "wizzard" from Unseen University, who is unable to actually perform magic but does have a talent for languages, a strong sense of self-preservation and the favour of a powerful god. He is the first protagonist of the Discworld novels, and appears in many of the early books, which form a sub-series. His later appearances cross over with those of the Wizards.
