Sergeant Colon

Colon, Frederick. Sergeant in the Ankh­-Morpork City Watch. Age believed to be about sixty. A fat man with a huge red face like a harvest moon. He likes the peace and quiet of the night and owes thirty years of happy marriage to the fact that Mrs Colon works all day gutting fish and he works all night. There must have been occasions when they were in the same room, how­ever, since he has three grown-up children and some grandchildren.\nFred Colon used to be in an army or armies (including, at one time, the Duke of Eorles's First Heavey Infantry (the Pheasant Pluckers) and pior to that, the Duke of Quirm's Middleweight Infantry ) but has been in the Watch for thirty years all told, and has known Commander Vimes for many years. \nFred is now 'Head of Traffic' in the Watch. He smokes a pipe and wears sandals with his Watch uniform, along with a breastplate with impressive pectoral muscles embossed on it, which his chest and stomach fit into in the same that jelly fits into a mould.\nHe is the sort of man who, in a military career, will automatically gravitate post of sergeant. As a civilian, his role would be something like a butcher - some job where a big red face and a tendency to sweat even in frosty weather are practically part of the specifcation.\nIt is known that as a child Sergent Colon had a pink stuffed pig called Mr. Dreadful. This sort of thing can come to haunt you in later life.
