Jocasta Wiggs was a female student at the College of Assassins at the time of Night Watch, the new generation of a well-known Guild family. A member of Viper House, she was thought by her tutor, Miss Alice Band, to be a little over-confident and was assigned to find a location where she could target Samuel Vimes. Like so many others, Jocasta was not a little discomfited to find that Commander Vimes was there ahead of her, arranging some uncertain footing and dodgy hand-holds.

The Watch
In The Watch, a very different Jocasta Wiggs was a member of the Assassin's Guild who fell in love with a fellow Guild member, Perpetua Jones. This was forbidden in that version of the Guild, but their love enabled them to hear the voice of Gawain, the magical sword in the Guild's trophy room. They stole him and went on the run from the Guild, travelling across the world and intending to throw Gawain over the edge. Jocasta was injured and needed care, so Perpetua sent her to Twilight Canyons, a retirement home in Ankh-Morpork, and died preventing the Assassins who were hunting them from finding her. Jocasta appears in the episode Twilight Canyons, portrayed by South African actress Fiona Ramsay.
