| Windle Poons | Windle Poons is one of the main characters in the Discworld novel Reaper Man written by Terry Pratchett. He was a wizard at the Unseen University until the age of 130, whereupon he died. This was his first role in the novel. For the rest of the time, he is unwillingly undead, due to Death's absence. After his 'death', his senses are quite enhanced from their 130-year-old state although his appearance is somewhat unsettling, mostly from a failed attempt at preventing rotting via an advanced form of biofeedback (basically, controlling the reactions of your organs voluntarily).
