	Downey is also the author of ''[[The Noble Art]]'', a book likely to cover topics of interest to assassins and includes a section on rules applicable to assassination within civilization. Downey seems to consider Rules (and style) one of the key things defining an assassin from a murderer or expensive thug. However it is also worth noting one of Lord Downey's sayings is 'No one became a great Assassin by always obeying the rules. Of course, no one ever became a great Assassin by disobeying the rules ''and getting caught'', either.'

Lord Downey is the current Master of the [[Assassins' Guild]], having succeeded [[Cruces|Dr. Cruces]]. He was educated at the Guild School at roughly the same time as Lord [[Vetinari]] and, in his role as School Bully, gave him the insulting nickname of "Dog-botherer". Vetinari got his vengeance, in a [[Greville-Pipe|quite interesting manner]] in
"Night-Watch."
