It's been said before, but I love how every Discworld character is a hero of their own story and a roadblock/antagonist/annoying twit in everyone elses. William de Worde is a great example (he's a bit soggy even in his own story but so are most Disc protags): he's fighting for truth and justice, dismantling evil political plots... and in the Moist and Vimes books he is the most annoying man alive. Vimes is a very strange man when you're not in his head. Granny Weatherwax can be inscrutable and overbearing when you're not in hers. Etc. Etc. Etc.
