The effect Keel has on Vetinari and the events of the 25th of May clearly shape Vetinari's views on the effective way of running the city. Later, he fought alongside the remnants of Samuel Vimes' (then known as John Keel) Night Watch against the remnants of the Cable Street Particulars (colloquially known as the Unmentionables), the late Lord Winder's secret police. Vetinari appeared in full Assassin regalia, which Winder regarded as something out of a nightmare.

Vetinari was able to drop his weapon beside Winder's corpse unused, and leave - all seemingly unobserved by anyone in the room, save Winder (though it was hinted that the party was arranged for the very occasion of Winder's assassination). Vetinari was present at Winder's death, but although he certainly intended to assassinate Winder, his mere arrival was enough to frighten Winder to death. In his late teens, Vetinari was involved in the 'Glorious 25th of May' ( Night Watch), to which his most notable contribution was the non-assassination of the then-Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, Homicidal Lord Winder, at a crowded party.

Lord Vetinari was born into the extremely powerful Vetinari family (a word play on the real-life family of the Medici and on the word ' veterinary') and raised by his aunt, Lady Roberta Meserole.Īs a youth, he enrolled in the Assassins' Guild which, apart from teaching its students how to kill other people for money, also gives them an excellent education. 4.2 Notable events during Vetinari's rule.
