Samuel Vimes is the cynical, but honorable commander of the Ankh-Morpork city watch from the series of fantasy comedy books Discworld. He was promoted to captain of the Night Watch during the rise of the Guilds and the decline of the Watch, and this combined with his natural cynicism drove him to drink. However, after stumbling into saving the city, he unexpectedly found himself moving up in the world, starting with his marriage to the wealthy socialite and swamp-dragon fancier Sybil Ramkin and culminating with receiving two titles: a knighthood as the Commander of the revitalized City Watch and the Dukedom of Ankh in Jingo in recognition of his accomplishments.
