People call Lord Vetinari a Machiavellian figure, and indeed he is — but only for a given value of Machiavelli. A true student of The Prince would be a lot more brutal, and would firmly believe that it is better to be feared than loved. Vetinari firmly believes that it is better to be permanent than either.
