History YMMV / NightWatchDiscworld

** [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Captain Findthee Swing]], the leader of the [[SecretPolice Cable Street Particulars]], is the reason his time period is so corrupt and oppressive. Swing is a TautologicalTemplar obsessed with craniometrics, using people's head measurements arbitrarily to decide whether someone is good or bad in his eye, even taking on Carcer Dun as his sergeant. Responsible for ensuring [[TheCaligula Homicidal Lord Winder]]'s dominion, Swing has any suspected dissidents disappeared to his cells and sent his men out to incite violence against the city's watch and militia's on and around the Glorious 25th May, sparking several riots. Upon entering the Particular's headquarters, Vimes discovers a dungeon full of people who Swing had physically and mentally tortured into confessing to his accusations; one person so broken that he does not resist when Vimes [[MercyKill kills him]] without hesitation. Murdering his own torturer to destroy the evidence of his crimes, Swing attempts to kill Vimes even as his headquarters burns.

** [[SerialKiller Carcer Dun]] is a sociopathic CopKiller initially wanted for murdering three of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, who is sent back in time along with [[TheHero Sam Vimes]] after feigning surrender and temporarily blinding him. Murdering John Keel, [[YouWillBeBeethoven forcing Vimes to take his identity]], Carcer enlists with the Unmentionables and teaches them a new torture trick, later threatening to kill "Young Sam" to destabilize time further. Escaping from an assault, he threatens to torture a child and uses the information obtained to force two unwilling commanders of the army into a full-frontal assault on the Treacle Mine Road barricade, in a deliberate attempt to maximize casualties and spite Vimes's attempts at damage control, which escalates into dozens of deaths and injuries. Once promoted to Captain by Lord Snapcase and ordered to lead a death-squad on "Keel", Carcer defies orders and orders he and Young!Vimes be taken alive while instructing his men to kill anyone else, including Reg Shoe who posed no threat. Upon returning to the present, Carcer vandalizes the tribute to Keel just to spite his rival and makes a final attempt on Vimes's life [[ForTheEvulz for no reason but his own amusement]].
