Hesta (Mage)

Hesta was a mage. She was an old woman who wore an eye-watering costume of all shades of red, with a head dress of fluttering crimson ribbons and carmine gloves on her hands. She could call on flames of fire from her Warren (possibly the warren of Thyr).Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 13

Hesta had come to Moon's Spawn to look for the Throne of Night, along with her companion and fellow mage Ogule. The two were attacked by the Genabackan mercenaries led by Otan of Genalle, and she countered them with fire, burning almost all of them.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 13
Later, she met Antsy and recognized the magery that the Moranth used to make their munitions. She, along with the other mages contracted Antsy to use his cusser to destroy the gates that barred their way to the Throne of Night. As Antsy's plan went wrong due to the Spawn tilting suddenly, sending the cusser another way, she got so enraged that she tried to kill Antsy by setting him on fire. She failed however, as Mallet saved Antsy.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 16
She and Ogule were then attacked by Hemper Grin, a mage of Darkness who feared that they would profane the throne. The two managed to overcome Hemper, Ogule using some sort of arcane magic that made Hemper cough up blood. The two then made good their escape.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 16
When Antsy and his group, along with the Malazans and the Seguleh found themselves in Kurald Galain, there was no sign of any of the mages since all of them had 'scampered away'.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 18
