RINCEWIND.THERE ARE EIGHT LEVELS OF WIZARDRY ON THE DISc. AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS, RINCEWIND FAILED TO EVEN ACHIEVE LEVEL ONE. IT WAS THE OPINION OF HIS TUTORS THAT HE WAS INCAPABLE OF EVEN ACHEIVING LEVEL ZERO, WHICH MOST NORMAL PEOPLE ARE BORN WITH.
Rincewind is by definition a
Wizard, but that is as far as it goes. The fact
that he has the
word WIZZARD written on his hat says it all. Rincewind could
accuratly be described as a coward. He is very good at getting
into trouble and then getting out of it again (in most cases
anyway). Rincewind was a student at the unseen university but was expelled from the university for aquiring a
spell from the Octavo (a very powerful magical book) It may not
be fair to say he aquired the spell, it would be better to say
the spell chose him. Rincewind would never willingly do something
that could mean even a wiff of danger.
During his adventures Rincewind is followed around by The luggage (A huge wooden box with hundreds of legs) which has got
him out of many a troublesome spot. Rincewind has in his time on
the disc encountered many a dangerous situation and has run away
from them all. Maybe he isn't actually a coward, maybe he is just
sensible.
