I liked him in The Colour of Magic. Since then he's been obnoxious.

Rincewind had some really nice roles in the Science of Discworld series (possibly some of the most under-read "Discworld" series because people think it's "science" but, it actually has a fantasy/Discworld plot!).

However the Witches are still my favorites, Lords and Ladies being my favorite book and Carpe Jugulum still has my favorite scene ever(when Oats burns his book in the cave to provide fire for him and Granny. Although Death's revenge and his appeal to Azrael in the end of ~~Thief of Time~~ Reaper Man comes very, very close.

I think he sells him a bit short. I mean in Interesting Times he did pretty much save the day and he has a thorough understanding of how the world works. Like Confusedus says, I'm a bit annoyed at how Pratchett's taken him since then.

Oh and Flow, can you explain that to me? I was sure Azrael only appeared once in the series (although he got a whole page to himself ) and it was in Reaper Man.

I can fully explain - I confused the two books. I meant to say Reaper Man, thanks for correcting me.
