		Genghiz Cohen, known as Cohen the Barbarian, is the Discworld's greatest warrior hero, renowned across the Disc for his exploits rescuing maidens, destroying the mad high priests of dark cults, looting ancient ruins, and so on.
		The greatest problems Cohen faces come from outliving the heroic age and finding himself in a civilised modern world where great battles and astonishing rescues happen rarely except in stories -- which is ironic given that the Discworld runs on narrative.
		This was intended to be a sort of retirement plan, but it did not last and Cohen and his chums abandoned the Empire in The Last Hero, in which Cohen decides to express his displeasure with the modern world by "returning fire to the gods".

		The parody-character is Cohen the Barbarian, but there is also Hrun the Barbarian, who is a lesser parody.
		Cohen is an old, withering man with vericose veins and no teeth, who, to most of his enemies' surprise, is still capable of killing a man 5 times before he hits the ground.
		She has adopted all of Cohen's warrior skills genetically, and doesnt like it because she really wants to be a hairdresser, but nobody in their right mind would let her get within 5 feet of them brandishing a pair of scissors.

		Cohen the Barbarian is the Disc's greatest hero, mostly on account on his still being alive in his eighties.
		Cohen is a skinny and bald man with a very long beard, his weak appearance makes him seem an easy opponent, not that anyone gets a second chance after making the first mistake.

	Cohen the Barbarian
		Either Terry has forgotten which eye it is or as discussed on a Discworld forum Cohen is faking it, using the patch as another ploy to put off his opponents and due to his age quite often forgets which eye to cover.
		Cohen now 87, the world's last barbarian hero realises that he hasn't faced the ultimate challenge: to defeat a troll in single combat.
		Cohen appeared in Interesting Times with his gang called the Silver Horde, they are psychotic pensioners, none of them would seem to be a day under eighty.

		Cohen has only one working eye -the other is covered by a fl patch.
		When last heard of, Cohen had put together his Silver Horde of equally elderly men and in search of things like the above had conquered the Agatean Empire and was effectively the new Emperor.

	Stripping the Gurus—Sometimes I Feel Like a God
		When Cohen was sixteen years old, he experienced a spontaneous expansion of consciousness “in all directions simultaneously” into infinite space, along with a “revelation” concerning the interconnectedness and inseparability of all life.
		Cohen eventually split from his own guru, Poonja, upon learning of various indiscretions in the master’s conduct, including his having reportedly fathered a child via a blond, Belgian disciple.
		This, then, is Cohen’s apparent worldview: His own stepping into the path of an oncoming vehicle has no cause, and therefore no responsibility, truly making him a “victim.” But severe mental illness afflicting others is to be overcome by an acceptance of responsibility from which he himself explicitly shrinks.

		The ancient Cohen the Barbarian, currently king of the Agatean Empire, has gathered up the Silver Horde for one last outing: an assault on Cori Celeste, the unimaginable mountain which serves as the official home of the gods.
		Cohen's simple mission is to return to the Gods that which was stolen from them, Fire.
		These are not necessarily the heroic sagas of Homer which are exemplified by the bard Cohen and his horde kidnap to chronicle their adventures, but rather the stories which are used to explain society as it currently is.

	RPGnet: Review of Barbarian Versus
		Barbarian Versus is the game to replicate this sort of thing, though you play loincloth-wearing sandalled muscleheads instead of tin cans on horseback.
		There is no canon list of barbarian clans or groups, which is also a welcome shift from certain games that shall not be named where you can only be an X, a Y or a Z if you want to fit in.
		Personally I don't know if I'd play a Barbarians Against Green Aliens game, because I'm thinking that with a minimum of hassle it could be converted into the Discworld Hero game, where the characters follow in the footsteps of Cohen the Barbarian.

		Cohen the Barbarian and his rabble hoard of ancient invaders are on their last quest.
		The book is worth the price alone for the full-color, glossy renderings of Ankh Morpork, each and every one of the Barbarians, The Librarian, Rincewind, Lord Vetinari, and of course DEATH in a touching portrait with his kitten.
		They are threatened with instant conflagration, as long as Cohen and his toothless friends continue their journey to return fire to the gods (also gloriously illustrated playing chess with what passes for humankind in Pratchett's fanciful world).

	Frank Schaeffer: Terminal Irony - Politics on The Huffington Post
		Cohen's "shtick" consists of his alter egos---Ali G, a very white "fl" British TV host, Borat, a "Kazakhstani" TV narrator, and Brüno, a "gay Austrian" TV host---roaming the world making fools of everyone.
		To the Cohen's of the world stupid people (in other words all we ordinary folks going about our business) serve only one purpose: to be brought low for the amusement of the-all-knowing mob.
		Polite southern fundamentalists are fair game but Cohen didn't go to Mecca and interview pilgrims about the sex life of Muhammad or run naked down the streets of Medina.

		Cohen gets a bard to record their one last universe-defying hobble toward immortality, and old age has rarely been so gut-splittingly yet accurately portrayed here, embellished by Paul Kidby's wacky and wicked illustrations.
		The problem is Cohen's quest may cause the end of all life on the Disc.
		Cohen and the Silver Horde (except Vincent the Ripper, who choked to death on a concubine) are on a final heroic quest: they are going to return the fire that was stolen from the gods.

	Just another brick in the tax retention barrier? \| Samizdata.net
		Cohen is speaking about the subject of slaughtering in the Agatean Empire, a Discworld continent bearing an astonishing resemblance to both modern China and its bureaucratic dynastic past:
		One presumes Cohen is talking about a culture of governmental acceptance, perhaps driven by a successful government-worshipping ideology.
		Either way, if he helps bring out our views and publicize them, such as the attitudes of Cohen the Barbarian, and the people of Lancre, and the hundreds of background comments making a mockery of the centralized government edifice, I'll take that, if that's all that's on offer.

		As always, Pratchett introduces a number of new and quite delightful characters, especially Cohen the Barbarian, the greatest hero in history -- as evidenced by his very advanced age.
		They are fortunate enough to join forces with Disworld's greatest hero Cohen the Barbarian; Cohen is an old man now, but he doesn't let that stop him from rescuing maidens, stealing treasures, and doing other heroic things.
		Not only do we meet Cohen the Barbarian, we are also introduced to the ape librarian of Unseen University, who will become a significant character in later novels.
