	'''The Quite Reverend Mightily-Praiseworthy-Are-Ye-Who-Exalteth-Om Oats:''' an [[Om\|Omnian]] missionary priest who found himself entangled in a war with [[Vampires]] from Überwald who planned to take over [[Lancre]]. He came from [[Ohulan]] when he was asked to fill in for the injured [[Brother Perdore]] at the naming ceremony for Princess [[Esmerelda Margaret Note Spelling of Lancre]] (so called because [[Nanny Ogg]] made him so nervous that he read the instruction as part of the name). He was then of heroic assistance to [[Granny Weatherwax]] in the fight to evict the [[Count de Magpyr]] and his family, whom [[Verence II\|King Verence]] had invited for the ceremony. Oats was similar to Agnes Nitt in that he possessed a rifted personality - his penchant for asking questions contradicted his training to accept things on faith. This trait made him mostly immune to the vampyres' mind-control techniques, a feat that even the four Lancre witches (excepting Perdita) couldn't perform. Rev. Oats is an unusually sympathetic churchman for the Discworld: not hypocritical, a true believer, but also prepared to burn his beloved Book of Om in the service of mankind.

Mightily Oats has grown in faith and might. He appears in {{UA}} as an early protector and mentor of the otherwise loathed and persecuted Mr [[Nutt]]. It seems as though his faith, forged in the fires, has hardened into steel. He preaches forgiveness, and Forgiveness is the name of the double-headed battleaxe that he carries with him through the fearful places of the world: faith is REAL to Pastor Oats. Nutt was rescued by Oats, and now he will travel back with him to the [[Evil Empire]] in rescue what may be left of his brethren.

Pastor Oats is mentioned in {{ISWM}} by an Omnian priest (Pastor Egg) who tells [[Tiffany Aching]] that in his ''Testament from the Mountains'' Oats said that witches embody the best ideals of [[Brutha]] the prophet (the main character from {{SG}}).

==Annotation==
His name has a curious echo of Titus Oates, the seventeenth-century anti-Catholic rabble-rouser and perjurer. If intentional, this must be to highlight a contrast; Oates was voted the third-worst Briton of the millennium in a recent poll.

It should be noted that "May you do so mightily" is a response to a request to relief yourself in some African tribes (obviously a translation) according to Nigel Ree's ''All Gong and No Dinner''. Maybe Mightily Oats means to get your oats mightily then?
