A Discworld fanart.
Fred Colon is a fictional character in the Discworld novels of Terry Pratchett.He is a sergeant in the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, and have been so for a long time. He is described on several occasions as one of nature's sergeants. He is overweight, and prefers to avoid trouble and exertion. When not on desk duty, he generally guards bridges or large buildings against theft. His reasoning is that until someone attempts to steal the geographic feature in question, he can lean against it and stay out of danger (as well as the wind). Closer examination, though, shows that Colon has some hidden depths.Most of the other watch officers saw a fat, stupid, lazy, cowardly man and that was mostly what was there, but he got a street-level knowledge of Ankh-Morpork and is good at sensing tension in a crowd.
