Teatime

Background

Jonathan Teatime is an apprentice member of the Ankh-Morpork Guild of Assassins in Ankh-Morpork, on Discworld. He believes he gets on well with animals, but during his assassination of Sir George, he nailed Sir George's dog to the ceiling.

During the events of Terry Pratchett's Hogfather (2006) played by Marc Warren

Carter brings in tea for Lord Downey and goes to fetch another cup for Teatime, who has suddenly appeared in the room. Lord Downey goes over Teatime's assassination of Sir George and shows him a drawing of the Hogfather. Teatime tells Lord Downey the task of killing the Hogfather will be difficult, but he has already thought about how to kill the Hogfather and Death and takes the job.

Teatime has a meeting with Medium Dave, Banjo, Chickenwire and Mr Sideney. Mr Brown shows up at the meeting and Teatime punches Banjo in the mouth, knocking out one of his teeth. As Violet collects Banjo's tooth she is grabbed, while Teatime hijacks Ernie's carriage. Banjo carries Violet and puts her in Ernie's carriage and the others get inside. Banjo reminds Medium Dave that their mom told them not to hit girls. Teatime then tells Ernie to drive to the Unseen University. Ernie drives the carriage to a wall behind the Unseen University and Teatime takes some magic powder that Ernie has and throws it at the wall and a portal forms. Teatime then kills Ernie and drives the carriage through the portal. He and the others walk into the Tooth Fairy's castle and some Toothguards stick their heads out from behind pillars and look at them. A Toothguard is killed by Teatime. Teatime tells Chickenwire and Medium Dave to pile all the teeth into a pile and tells Mr Brown to unlock every door in the castle.

He asks Mr Sideney if he has any friends and then tells him, he doesn't have many friends, but also doesn't have any enemies. Mr Brown opens a door and Teatime finds a Toothguard hiding and scares him to death. Medium Dave and Chickenwire finish gathering all of the teeth and Mr Sideney starts to cast his spell. As teeth start to fly out of the teeth pile, Mr Sideney tells Teatime there are random bits of belief affecting the spell. As Medium Dave and Chickenwire are planning to leave with property deeds they found, Teatime stops them and tells Medium Dave, he controls Banjo now. Teatime tells Mr Brown to find the Tooth Fairy's secret room. Mr Brown opens a door and they find Toothguard 7 hiding and Toothguard 7 tells them he won't tell them anything and Teatime kills him.

Mr Brown is about to unlock the door, when magic causes part of the lock to engage. Mr Brown fails to open the lock and Teatime has Banjo grab him and throw him down the stairs, killing Mr Brown. When she arrives at the castle, Teatime steals Death's sword from Susan and introduces himself to her. Mr Sideney gets the last door unlocked and Teatime tells him he can leave. An argument breaks out when Medium Dave wants to leave and Teatime tells Banjo to grab Susan. A spectral image of Ma Lillywhite appears and accuses Banjo of being bad and Medium Dave of letting Banjo get into trouble. Medium Dave dies of fright and Teatime tries to use Death's sword on Susan, but it doesn't work due to them being in an unnatural location. Susan knocks Teatime over the edge of a balcony and he falls out of the Tooth Fairy's castle and lands in the banquet hall of the Unseen University.

Teatime grabs Susan as she is heating water at the Gaiter house and threatens to kill Susan with Death's sword. Teatime has Twyla and Gawain come into the room and they tell Teatime that he is the creepy monster. Teatime goes to kill Death and Susan throws a poker at Death, which goes through him and impales Teatime. Teatime cries and dies and Death collects his soul.
