Moist von Lipwig
Moist von Lipwig is a fictional character from Terry Pratchett's ''Discworld'' series. He is the protagonist of the novels ''Going Postal'', ''Making Money,'' and ''Raising Steam''.
==Background and execution==
Little is known about Moist von Lipwig's past. He originally comes from Überwald, specifically from a town called Lipwig, and lost both his parents at an early age, and was raised by a grandfather who bred dogs. He attended school in Überwald, and had bad memories of his second year school mistress, Frau Shambers. He was bullied at school, but ran away at the age of 14, and became a travelling conman.〔''Going Postal'', page 215.〕 In ''Making Money'' he alluded to living through the chaos of the breakup of the Unholy Empire, and having to do anything at all to survive, though he may have been lying. At some point he met and associated with Cribbins, another criminal who taught him everything he (Cribbins) knew. But their association ended, and later Lipwig developed a dislike for Cribbins, reflecting that the teaching took "''about ten minutes, and a year to forget some of it''," and that Cribbins is "''the sort that gives criminals a bad name''."〔''Making Money'', page 184.〕
During his time as a conman, Lipwig took advantage of the fact that he has no notable physical traits and is easily forgettable. According to the numerous descriptions handed in to various watches across the Plains; "''He was about twenty, or about thirty. On Watch reports across the continent he was anywhere between, oh, about six feet two inches and five feet nine inches tall, hair all shades from mid-brown to blond, and his lack of distinguishing features included his entire face''." (In ''Going Postal'' he claims his actual age is 26). Lipwig uses his lack of memorability to his advantage in the use of a selection of easily removable distinguishable features, such as fake glasses and even ear hair wigs. He has become an expert forger and uses a wide range of inks and papers that he stores in what he calls "''Mr. Robinson's Box''."
He also used a number of aliases, including Albert Spangler. It was under the name Albert Spangler that he was captured in Ankh-Morpork and was to be hanged, in the beginning of events in ''Going Postal''.
