“But Gaskin went and forgot, he ran on, went around the corner and, well, this bloke had a couple of mates waiting.”

Guards! Guards! Page 207

Guards! Guards! begins with the funeral of the Watchman Gaskin, demoralizing what’s left of the watch. Later Colon tells us how Gaskin died. He made the fatal watchman mistake of running too fast when chasing someone.

There’s not much to go on when drawing Gaskin. We can assume he’s as old as Colon and Vimes. This was confirmed in Night Watch. Night Watch also gives the detail that he’s called “Leggy” Gaskin. because of this, I tried to make him tall and lanky.
