Miriam Fig (d. 1889 or 1890)[1] was a witch and the wife of Eleazar Fig.[4]

Biography[]

Miriam and her husband, Eleazar Fig were friends with George Osric for decades.[2] She was interested in the seeming disappearance of ancient magic, prompting her to travel all over the world to gather research. Her husband joined her but left when he grew weary to teach at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At some point, she was mysteriously killed, causing her husband to feel responsible and continue her work.[5]

Shortly before she died, she wrote to George Osric about Ranrok to find out whether the Ministry knew about him. However, before she received a reply, she was in a rush and sent a key in a container to George via owl. He shared it with Eleazar and a new student on their way to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The student had the rare ability to detect ancient magic and was the only one who saw the container glowing.[6]

It was later revealed that Ranrok was the one who killed Miriam after learning she was searching for what would be revealed to be the final repository, and he subsequently stole her wand, which he used to destroy the Repository so as to absorb the power within it, and fought her husband and the new student there.[7]
