There's an incongruous shift in location during {{LL}} when [[Nanny Ogg]] remarks to [[Casanunda]] that Mr Ixolite is always very good at letting the [[Witches]] know when he's going to be about, in order that their broomsticks have clear airspace.

This suggests a Banshee resident in Ankh has the capacity to cover a lot of air miles quite quickly.

Mr Ixolite also manifests himself to [[Death]] in His [[Bill Door]] persona: on the morning of the Fight to the Death between two contenders. Death remarks to [[Renata Flitworth]] that {{Death|I have received the badly-written note of the Banshee}}.

It also occurs that in [[Roundworld]] mythology, {{wp|Banshee|banshees}} (the name is a corruption of the Irish Gaelic for "death-woman") are invariably female. Is this another reason for Mr Ixolite's sense of awkward not-quite-fitting-in sadness and alienation?
