===Doctor Hix===
''' Dr. John Hix''' – 'Hicks with an X' in ''[[Unseen Academicals]]'', after changing his name from Hicks because it didn't suit his position. Dr Hix is a [[necromancy|necromancer]]. Since necromancy is officially banned in Ankh-Morpork, he is instead the Head of the Department of Postmortem Communications (although he acknowledges this is just a fancy way of saying necromancy). Hix has one member of staff, a reanimated skeleton called Charlie. He previously had another member of staff, the late Professor Flead, but Hix bound him to a club at the end of ''[[Making Money]]''.{{cn |date=May 2024}}

Hix frequently misbehaves, performs evil deeds and makes comments in bad taste as he is required to under university statute, a fact which the other members of UU grudgingly accept. He uses the phrase "Skull ring, remember?" as an excuse for his misbehavior, much like the [[Havelock Vetinari|Patrician's]] use of the phrase, "Tyrant, remember?".

Hix may be a parody of [[Peter Higgs]].
