Glod Gloddson (possibly also known as '''Glod the son''') is one of those unconventional [[Dwarfs]], who with [[Giamo Casanunda]], [[Hwel]] the playwright, [[Mad]], [[Harry Dread|Armpit]], [[Sharn]], [[Pepe]] and [[Cheery Littlebottom]], express rebellion against the limited life of a conventional Dwarf. Glod is a musician, a horn player, who comes to [[Ankh-Morpork]] apparently after some years' experience elsewhere, since he is first encountered applying for membership in the [[Musicians' Guild]]. In the office he meets [[Imp y Celyn]] and [[Lias Bluestone]], two more newcomers. They join up to try to raise the Guild membership fees and form [[The Band With Rocks In]].

For a time he also acts as the band's leader and financial manager, not very effectively as the latter.

The other two are from ethnic traditional music in rural areas, but Glod is an experienced professional. His heritage has instilled an affinity for gold, of course, but Glod's attitude is pure musician.

"Famous I don't know about. It's hard to be famous and alive. I just want to play music every day and hear someone say, 'thanks, that was great, here is some money, same time tomorrow, ok?'" He wants people to say "we need a good horn man - get Glod Glodsson!"

Not that he doesn't become very attached to a bag containing several thousand dollars after the band's tour; he feels that dropping it to save his life wouldn't be a good trade.

Fleeing with the proceeds, the band's coach goes off a cliff very much as [[Mort]]'s did. In one reality, the players seem to have been killed in the fiery crash. In another, Glod may have gone back to see his mother with a very respectable sack of gold.
