Founder of the noble Rust dynasty, Rust was made a Baron by the king of Ankh-Morpork for his great feat of arms in battle.
Twurp's Peerage recounts how he single-handedly killing thirty-seven heavily armed Klatchian foes while armed with only more a pin.
It all goes to show that all 'noble' lines must start somewhere, often away from peole who dress well and know which fork to eat quails eggs with. Instead the founder is normally some warrior who has impressed the king of the day by making mincemeat of the king's foes.
