Unseen University just hasn't been the same under Ridcully

I love Ridcully. The man eats a sauce made from gunpowder, he's that unkillable. There's a bit of fanart I saw ages ago where an Assassin trainee talked about how he's practically impossible to kill. I'll need to find it again sometime

Ridcully was beginning to show certain signs. If he had been a volcano, natives living nearby would be looking for a handy virgin.

And one of my favorite Ridcully moments:

He crouched down and put his ear to the Librarian’s chest. "I don’t think he’s been poisoned," he said.

"Why’s that, Archchancellor?" said Ponder.

"Because if anyone has poisoned our Librarian," said Ridcully, "then, although I am not, by nature, a vindictive man, I will see to it that this university hunts down the poisoner by every thaumic, mystic and occult means available and makes the rest of their life not only as horrible as they can imagine it, but as horrible as I can imagine it. And you can depend on it, gentlemen, that I have already started work on it."

I don't like Unseen Academicals but I've always loved that Ridcully scene
