Blouse. A captain in the Borogravian army. A thin, fairly young man, who needs thick glasses to see, but doesn't bother with them much; he has no chin, but a handsome Adam's apple. Useless in the art of war, but otherwise quite clever. Tends to tack inverted commas around every word he finds even slightly 'racy'.
     Blouse was second lieutanent for eight years, during which he had a desk job, and was promoted to lieutanent only when the Borogravian army was employing and mobilising every male it could find. He took over the Monstrous Regiment and led them to the Kneck Keep. On the way he met the Ankh-Morpork Times, who were convinced (mostly by Sergeant Jackrum) that Blouse was a military genius nicknamed "Tiger". He is, in fact, a genius when it comes to numbers.
     Blouse entered the captured Kneck Keep dressed as a washerwoman, with the intention of freeing the Borogravian soldiers imprisoned there and recapturing the Keep. He was soon followed by his squad, and they eventually did accomplish the feat. Blouse was made captain and even fulfilled his life-long dream: he had a piece of clothing named after him - a type of fingerless glove.
     Curiously, Blouse cannot shave but is very good at ironing. This is because his personal servant always shaved him, but refused to iron, because this was "women's work".
