Visit

Visit is a modern Omnian and therefore an evangelical preacher. His full name is Visit-The-Infidel-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets, which is a mouthful in Ankh-Morporkian (it is reputedly much simpler to say in the Omnian language), and describes an action that annoys his neighbors and colleagues. This approach is, however, much more peaceful than the traditional `visit-the-infidel-with-swords-and thunderbolts' approach. His nickname amongst fellow coppers appears to be "Washpot". He is referred to by Pratchett as follows: "There's one in every station, and Constable Visit was enough for two". He is an Omnian of a gentle but determined proselytising nature. He can clear a large crowd in seconds, just by talking to them about religion and threatening them with pamphlets (principally Unadorned Facts, Battle Cry and Battle Call.
