Trevor Likely

Trevor Likely is a famous football player and is the son of Dave Likely (correction, Dave Likely is his father; context is important, as Vetinari once said). He was the manager of Unseen University’s candle vats before Vetinari’s plan for the future of football.

At first, Trevor is only a fan of football rather than an actual player because his ol’ mum forbade him to play after she was widowed. Nutt reveals that Trev was traumatized at an early age by the violent death of his father during a game, and wishes to have no part in the world of football. However, due to the new, slightly more civil, rules of the game, Trev eventually gives in and replaces Professor Macarona.

He falls deeply in love with another Night Kitchen worker Juliet Stollop/ mysterious fashion model Jewels, and it can be deduced that they intend to marry each other.

Footnote

there was something disconcerting about a candle that appeared to have dribbled in every direction at once. It could put a man off his stroke.*

Employing professional dribblers might seem extravagant for a body like Unseen University. Nothing could be further from the truth. No traditional wizard worth his pointy hat could possibly work by the light of pure, smooth, dare one say virgin undribbled candles. It would just not look right. The ambience would be totally shattered. And when it did happen, the luckless wizard would mess about, as people do, with matchsticks and bent paperclips, to try to get nice little dribbles and channels of wax, as nature intended. However, this sort of thing never really works and invariably ends with wax all over the carpet and the wizard setting himself on fire. candle dribbling, it has been decreed, is a job for a dribbler.
