Pellegri

From Xenosaga Wiki

Pellegri as she appears in Episode III.

Pellegri serves as Commander Margulis' aid de camp. She was stationed with other U-TIC officers on the asteroid complex Pleroma and was displaced when it was abandoned and later destroyed by Sellers. She seems to be a very caring and concerned individual, as she expressed her outrage to Margulis when the failure of the Zohar Link Experiment on Ariadne resulted in the planet's disappearance and the loss of over half a billion innocent lives. That being said she is capable of turning off her emotional side and becoming very callous and objective-driven when she needs to be. She is not very fond of Life Recycling variants, like the U.R.T.V.s and super soldiers like Cherenkov.

In Episode II Pellegri is given command of the E.S. Issachar, a powerful mech capable of outclassing every other machine the Federation could field. Along with her wingmen Hermann and Richard, she was ordered to retrieve the 100 Series Observational Realian MOMO on Second Miltia. Her mission ultimately fails when Canaan arrives in the E.S. Asher and drives the three of them off before they can capture MOMO. Pellegri later reappears on the Ormus Stronghold where she confronts Shion, Jr., Jin, and the others as they are attempting to escape the fortress. After being defeated a second time Pellegri escapes and is not seen again for the rest of the episode.

Recent trailers for Episode III have shown E.S. Issachar in action once again, piloted by Pellegri. She is still a part of Heinlein's plot and is working to see the new Ormus Patriarch's goals fulfilled.

In the TV Asahi anime Xenosaga: The Animation, Pellegri appears to have once been a student of Jin Uzuki's grandfather, the martial arts expert who taught Margulis, Shion Uzuki, and Jin Uzuki himself how to fight and manipulate the elements like fire, ice, and lightning. It is quite possible that this is where Margulis and Pellegri first met, and this is how she was first introduced to U-TIC and the Ormus Society. There was a lot of tension between Pellegri and Jin when they confronted each other in the anime; this could possibly stem from a failed romantic relationship or just from her and Margulis' betrayal of his grandfather. If Jin and Pellegri were involved romantically, it was glossed over in the game, as he had the perfect opportunity to confront her on the Ormus Stronghold and simply chose to remain silent (although the party were inside of their E.S. units while they were facing Pellegri, so it could be assumed that Jin didn't recognize her voice that time). Xenosaga: The Animation was also known for its wild deviations from the actual storyline of the Xenosaga games, so everything in this section of the article should be taken at face value and heavily scrutinized when compared with the games' actual storyline. However, a recent trailer for Episode III shows Pellegri in a heated confrontation with Jin just between their E.S.'s, Reuben and Issachar, do battle.
