People seem to want to put Vetinari into Slytherin. Agreed he’s got the realpolitik Machiavelli going, but he lacks critical Slytherin trait of selfish ambition.

Also key is Vetinari’s conmitment to stability - he in no way denies that the status quo is suboptimal, but believes that the instability of rapid change is worse than the slow change of steady improvement. “No matter how beautiful the omelet, you’ve had to break some eggs”
