In 'Hogfather,' he is hired to eliminate the Hogfather, the Discworld's equivalent of Santa Claus, showcasing his role as a disruptor of traditions and beliefs. His significance lies in his embodiment of the unpredictable and often darkly humorous nature of the Discworld, challenging the boundaries between reality and myth.
Physical Appearance
Jonathan Teatime is a slender, almost gaunt figure with an unsettlingly symmetrical face that exudes an eerie charm. His eyes are mismatched, one being a glass eye that reflects light in a disconcerting manner, adding to his sinister appearance. He dresses in a sharp, black suit that is impeccably tailored, with a long, flowing coat that billows dramatically as he moves. His hair is dark and slicked back, and he often carries an assortment of peculiar tools and weapons, hinting at his profession and his penchant for creative problem-solving. His presence is both captivating and unnerving, with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes.
