Sea Hag
She is the sorceress of immortality, born into the true first human colony of Xanth, 2200 years before the First Wave. When she dies, she can take over any body she wishes, male or female (a fact she discovered after her first death).
She is introduced in Golem in the Gears, serving as the main antagonist as she prepares for her latest body switch. Her efforts are halted through the efforts of Grundy Golem, resulting in her banishment to the Brain Coral's pool. She escapes 33 years later during the events of The Dastard, when a glitch ejects her, as well as several other people. Despite her best efforts and an alliance with the Dastard himself, her soul is finally banished from Xanth for good by the actions of four residents of the moon Ptero (who have temporarily switched places with their younger counterparts on Xanth).
Her origin as a pre-First Waver is revealed in Question Quest, and her full history (including the discovery of her talent) is revealed in The Dastard, while possessing one of her latest victims.

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or hag:
“For half a mile from the shore it was one mass of white breakers, which, with the wind, made such a din that we could hardly hear ourselves speak.... This was the stormiest sea that we witnessed,—more tumultuous, my companion affirmed, than the rapids of Niagara, and, of course, on a far greater scale. It was the ocean in a gale, a clear, cold day, with only one sail in sight, which labored much, as if it were anxiously seeking a harbor.... It was the roaring sea, thalassa exeessa.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Old Molly Means was a hag and a witch;
Chile of the devil, the dark, and sitch.”
—Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
