Owlswick Jenkins was an expert forger working in Ankh-Morpork. He first came to be known to reader during the events described ā Making Money, but his history as a forger of stamps is outlined.
ā... lower down on the front page was the headline STAMP FORGER TO HANG. They were going to hang Owlswick Jenkins. And for what? For murder? For being a notorious banker? No, for just knocking up a few hundred sheets of stamps. Quality work too; The Watch wouldnā™t have a case if they hadnā™t burst into his attic and found a few sheets of half-penny reds hanging up to dry. Heā™ d forged postage stamps. He really had. It broke your heart, it really did. Oh, heā™s done higher values too, but what kind of person goes to all that trouble for half a penny? Owlswick had, and now he was down in the condemned cells in the Tanty, with just a few days to to ponder on the nature of cruel fate before he was taken to dance on air.ā
