View source for Dahoney

A demagogue of the cult of [[Star People]]. Dahoney was a typical leader of a cult of the Star People, and he gave a talk that was unfortunately attended by [[Rincewind]], [[Twoflower]], and [[Bethan]] on how the Red Star has directed the purification of the [[Disc]] through things such as killing of all [[Wizard's magic|Wizards]], members of races like the [[Dwarfs]], and the burning of all books of [[magic]]. For a longer summary of the Star People's beliefs, see [[Star People|their article]]. As [[Death]] described it, what the Star People are doing is "death of the mind"- something that even he does not understand.

A follower of his cult recognized Rincewind as a wizard, and assumed that, since the magic of wizards had faded, Rincewind would be unable to magic him out of existence. (It wouldn't have mattered anyway, since Rincewind is a totally inept wizard). Unfortunately, the [[Octavo|Great Spell of the Octavo]] residing in his head still had access to enough magic to take over Rincewind's arm and mouth, and kill the cultist.
