He was hit in the head by his own god, Om, in the form of a tortoise. The road to hell for everyone else was to be paved with the good intentions of Vorbis. His goal was to be the head Iam of the church of Om, not because of personal ambition but because he thought it was for the good of the church. He was seen as a pious man, but this was not piety of faith in god but the piety of faith in the church. Vorbis wears a plain grey robe (with a singlet with nails sewn into it underneath) and carried a steel shod staff. Oh, yes, his eyes are black - 'Not just dark of pupil, but almost black of eyeball' - making it hard to tell where he is looking. He is bald, not through hereditary factors but the application of a razor. He is well over six feet tall, but a little hunched over: 'He looks like a normally proportioned person modeled in clay by a child and then rolled out'. He appears in one book, Small Gods, which is a Terry Pratchett style discourse on religion and its institutions. Deacon Vorbis was the head of the Quisition in Omnia, a desert nation located on the famous Discworld.
