Jeremy Clockson

Jeremy Clockson is a character from the Discworld novel, Thief of Time.

He is the temporal double of Lobsang Ludd, and son of Time and Wen the Eternally Surprised. Unlike his double, he was left outside the Clockmakers Guild in Ankh-Morpork, and raised there, showing an amazing aptitude for his adoptive craft.

He is hired to build a clock by Lady Myria LeJean that would stop time, although he only intends to make the worlds first truly accurate clock. After the completion of the clock he merges with Lobsang to form the current personification of Time, named Lobsang as The Two feel Lobsang had the happiest memories.

Jeremy's name is arguably a hybrid of two names; Jeremy Bentham, the renowned utilitarian philosopher - bth characters seem to be making gods (for lack of a better description) out of mechanistic scientific determinism (in the form of clockwork or felicific calculus); and Jeremy Clarkson.
