Wilikins

Willikins is the butler of Sybil Ramkin and, after their marriage, Sam Vimes. He has been part of the Ramkin household for some time, starting work as a scullery boy when Forsythe was family butler. He has now been raised to the role of butler himself and, in this role, he is a paragon of civility; mildly disapproving of Vimes's uncouth habits. Though Vimes remains uneasy with the idea of having a servant, he seems to have accepted the idea. Willikins is also part of the Specials, an auxiliary police force called up by the Watch when more men are required. Fighting skills aside, Willikins is a very competent butler, embodying the very image of a butler "as fat as butter and as shiny as schmaltz". He coughs in a certain way, he politely requests that Vimes removes his razor before reading out a bit from the Ankh-Morpork Times that he has worked out that Vimes will react violently to, and he quietly but competently goes about his business.
