| - Havelock Vetinari is a Secian Fire Mage of Sa. He is bonded to Kang Primum (red), and is the husband to Lilioth Vetinari whom had his child Jaisper Vetinari.
- Lord Vetinari was born into the extremely powerful Vetinari family (a word play on the real-life family of the Medici and on the word "veterinary") and raised by his aunt, Lady Roberta Meserole. As a youth, he enrolled in the Ankh-Morpork which, apart from teaching its students how to kill other people for money, also gives them an excellent education. Lord Vetinari was particularly interested in the classical arts and (in flagrant defiance of the Guild's conventions of style) Camouflage, though he was failed in his stealth examination (due to his apparent absence in class.) Because of the similarity his name bore to "veterinary", he endured the Nickname of Dog-botherer. Vetinari graduated from the Guild with exceptional marks, scoring disconcertingly high in attention to detail.

| - Havelock Vetinari is a Secian Fire Mage of Sa. He is bonded to Kang Primum (red), and is the husband to Lilioth Vetinari whom had his child Jaisper Vetinari.
- Lord Vetinari was born into the extremely powerful Vetinari family (a word play on the real-life family of the Medici and on the word "veterinary") and raised by his aunt, Lady Roberta Meserole. As a youth, he enrolled in the Ankh-Morpork which, apart from teaching its students how to kill other people for money, also gives them an excellent education. Lord Vetinari was particularly interested in the classical arts and (in flagrant defiance of the Guild's conventions of style) Camouflage, though he was failed in his stealth examination (due to his apparent absence in class.) Because of the similarity his name bore to "veterinary", he endured the Nickname of Dog-botherer. Vetinari graduated from the Guild with exceptional marks, scoring disconcertingly high in attention to detail. In his late teens, Vetinari was involved in the "Glorious 25th of May" (Night Watch (Pratchett novel)), to which his most notable contribution was the non-assassination of the then-Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, Homicidal Lord Winder, at a crowded party. Vetinari was present at Winder's death, but although he certainly intended to assassinate Winder, his mere arrival was enough to frighten Winder to death. Vetinari was able to drop his weapon beside Winder's corpse un-used, and leave - all seemingly unobserved by anyone in the room, save Winder (though it was hinted that the party was arranged for the very occasion of Winder's assassination). Vetinari appeared in full Assassin regalia, which Winder regarded as something out of a nightmare. Later, he fought alongside the remnants of Samuel Vimes' (then known as John Keel) Night Watch against the remnants of the Ankh-Morpork (colloquially known as the Unmentionables), the late Lord Winder's Secret police. The effect Keel has on Vetinari and the events of the 25th of May clearly shape Vetinari's views on the effective way of running the city. Vetinari later journeyed to Überwald on what is known as the Grand Sneer (a parody of Grand Tour); travels of the younger members of rich families to backward areas to see at first hand how inferior they are. There he met the Vampire Undead (Discworld). It is implied that the two had some kind of relationship, and stated more clearly that he taught her a lot of what she knows, and vice versa.
