Otto von Chriek, more commonly called Otto Chriek, is a character in Terry Pratchett's longrunning Discworld series of fantasy novels. He is a vampire and a professional newspaper photographer ("Iconographer" in Discworld parlance). His job allows him to indulge his suicidal fascination with light. Otto's first appearance in the Discworld novels is in The Truth. He then goes on to make further, though much less substantial appearances, in Monstrous Regiment, Going Postal, Thud!, and Making Money.
