This is a family name, which in [[Ankh-Morpork]] goes back at least as far, and has a pedigree at least as long and as well-documented, as any of the noble families. It is also the name of the current president of the [[Thieves' Guild]], and is a name proudly borne by many past generations of thieves.

The current Mr Boggis is a slightly sallow, seedy, man in middle age who affects a brown bowler hat, believed to be a badge denoting his professional office. He is not especially bright, and the [[Gamblers' Guild]] has noted for professional reasons that he would not be terribly good at poker - his thinking patterns and reactions are far too obvious and he has no concept of subtlety.

Indeed, when [[71-hour Ahmed]] offered twenty camels for Mrs Boggis, he did not realise he was the punchline to a joke, and gladly agreed.
