A notable 19th-century hydromage: born in Catanzaro (Calabria), Italy, later relocated to southern France.
There is surprisingly little detail about Pellegrino's personal life in the Manual: she appears to have taken her privacy very seriously. It is known that she was the second daughter of a local fisherman. Anecdotal information about her Ordeal exists, indicating her early aptitude with water. The Lone Power is said to have attempted to drown her while she was swimming off the Calabrian coast. In reaction to the attack, Pellegrino apparently went into synch with the element of water for many miles up and down the coast, an epic manifestation of the exploit known as Taking In The Sea -- so thoroughly disrupting the Lone One that any time it appeared to a wizard for some months subsequent, It turned up dripping wet.
Pellegrino is best known for the design (and singlehanded performance) of the massive wizardry now known as the Gibraltar Infraflow Intervention. The Infraflow has been redesigned several times in the past two centuries to reflect changes in the Gulf Stream and issues related to global warming.
Served as Planetary wizard for Earth, 1866-1880. (AWOM)
