Hag
A Blood Hag is a type of being somewhere between practitioner and Other, having gained power from the sheer repition of the practices that give them immortality.<ref>“I have not
counted, but I can still be utterly confident in saying that I have
woken up in the same place for more than nine million of your days. I
have gathered, hunted, cooked and eaten the same foods on those same
days. I have been born, bled for the first time, and been reborn on
more than one thousand occasions. The wheel of life and death turns
forward and I am an indelible part of it, especially here. This is a
pattern, this is my ritual. Now tell me, what is the truth of this. What does it make me?”
“A hag,” Tiff murmured. “A blood hag.”
- excerpt from Sine Die 14.6

tens of thousands of years of repetition. Train a bird, tune a sound…”
“This is how she operates?” Evan asked.
“No,” Tiff said. Her voice came from another space, as if she were
moving. I hadn’t heard the footsteps. “She’s a blood hag. She’ll have
Other powers, and practitioner powers. This is just what someone can pull off if they just happen to be immortal and very patient.”
- excerpt from Sine Die 14.6 </ref> They sustain their immortality by taking the lives of others.<ref>“Blood Hags survive for as long as they do by taking the lives of others,” Tiff said. “Not to be confused with sanguine
hags, like Bathory. From what Mara said, she took an immense number of young lives to live as long as she has. Stepping into their shoes. I
don’t know about you guys, um, I’m really not feeling the mercy.” - excerpt from Sine Die 14.8</ref> Most likely they would be considered a type of Heartless.
