"Yambe-Akka! Come to me, come to me!"
—The witch voicing her wish to die[src]

The unidentified Taymyr witch was captured by Marisa Coulter and her General Oblation Board after the battle at Bolvangar. The Taymyr clan was allied with the General Oblation Board until they found out they were cutting away children's daemons.[1] Her dæmon managed to call upon Serafina Pekkala for help, although he did not reach his witch in time to save her.

The witch was tortured by the crew members on the ship she was held captive upon, and also by Marisa Coulter herself. Serafina Pekkala graciously killed her when she called upon Yambe-Akka, who is supposed to come to a witch when she is about to die.
