Duke Felmet - Discworld Character Biography
Character Bio
Duke Felmet is a scheming and power-hungry nobleman who becomes the ruler of Lancre through nefarious means. His reign is marked by paranoia and cruelty, as he is tormented by guilt and the fear of losing his ill-gotten throne. Felmet's significance in the Discworld universe lies in his role as an antagonist in 'Wyrd Sisters,' where his actions set off a chain of events that challenge the natural order and bring the witches into conflict with the crown.
Physical Appearance
Duke Felmet is a gaunt and haggard figure, with a face that seems perpetually twisted by anxiety and malice. His skin is pale, almost ghostly, and his eyes are sunken, giving him a haunted appearance. He is often seen wearing regal, yet slightly disheveled clothing, with a crown that seems to sit uneasily on his head, as if it knows it doesn't belong there. His hands are thin and bony, often wringing together in nervous agitation, and his overall demeanor is one of a man constantly on the edge of a breakdown, reflecting his inner turmoil and guilt.
