===Biography===
Mr. Shine initially appears as a mysterious personage encountered in [[Trolls|Troll]] graffiti, usually in the form "Mr Shine! Him diamond!" [[Samuel Vimes|Commander Vimes]] eventually learns who -- and, perhaps more importantly, what -- Mr Shine actually is in ''[[Book:Thud!|Thud!]]''.

===Characteristics and Habits===
As with all diamond trolls, Mr. Shine is capable of regulating the temperature of his brain by reflecting all heat. The troll brain being a lump of impure silicon, troll intelligence is lowered by increases in temperature. Mr. Shine's ability to regulate temperature makes him quite intelligent, and intelligent in all environments. During a discussion with [[Samuel Vimes|Commander Vimes]] frost forms on Mr. Shine's body within seconds, indicating that he keeps his body well below freezing most, if not all, of the time. Mr. Shine describes himself as very smart, with an analytical mind and having a love of puzzles and games. He is a formidable player of [[Thud]] in both the troll and dwarf game, and he is a member, if not founder, of the underground club in [[Ankh-Morpork]].

Mr. Shine's diamond body tends to reflect light in blinding flashes. This may be one of the reasons why he commonly wears black clothing, including velvet gloves and a black robe. However, Mr. Shine states that he can be quite hard to see if that is his wish. Mr. Shine has also been known to use the flashes to dazzle or distract others. This implies that Mr. Shine is capable of regulating the reflectivity and index of refraction of his body in addition to its temperature.

In {{T!}}, Mr. Shine appears reclusive, however there is a great deal of graffiti written about him, implying some general knowledge of his existence in the troll community. Mr. Shine's motives for not assuming a public position may be an interest in delaying his ascent to kingship until he is ready. Mr. Shine is definitely known to the [[Low King]], and probably to the [[Patrician]]. It is implied that [[Detritus]] knows about Mr. Shine, but to what extent is not revealed.

Mr. Shine is demonstrably compassionate, in {{T!}} he is stated to have tried to help [[Brick]], a [[slab]] addict, come clean (although alone he couldn't quite do it), and expresses concern for his well being, bringing him to the Watch to keep him safe.

===Role in the battle at Koom Valley===
Mr. Shine played a role in averting a battle at [[Koom Valley]]. Indirectly, Mr. Shine gave [[Samuel Vimes|Commander Vimes]] several clues in his investigation of the murder of [[Grag]] [[Hamcrusher]] and the theft of [[Methodia Rascal]]'s 'The Battle of [[Koom Valley]].' Directly, Mr. Shine appeared at the camp of [[Rhys Rhysson]] the [[Low King]] as the leader of a band of trolls and requested parley.

As of {{T!}}, The Low King and Mr Shine have a truce by which at least many of the heads of the major dwarfish and trollish clans abide. Mighty mountains may be ground down by the passage of soft water, and these two deep thinkers - natural enemies but allies in their peaceable intentions - may well have set the seal for the eventual ending of hostilities between the two races.

Vetinari respects the Diamond King as the unopposed leader of his people, and as of {{SN}} negotiates directly with him as a powerful sovereign Leader, head of state to head of state. Vimes discovers he may have cooled a friendly relationship somewhat with one of the consequences of the crime he has discovered in the Shires; Vetinari, for pressing internal reasons, is unable to comply with the Diamond King's request to extradite [[Gravid Rust]] for crimes against trolldom. The fact he is similarly unable to favour the Low King of the Dwarfs may go some way to appeasing the trolls.
