Thiago Quintana was an American wizard and was one of four wandmakers who served North America in the early 20th century, along with Shikoba Wolfe, Johannes Jonker, and Violetta Beauvais.[3]
Biography[]
Quintana's wands caused a sensation when they were first introduced.[3] Sleek and unusually long in design, they produced spells of "force and elegance". They contained a single spine taken from the back of one of the White River Monsters native to Arkansas.[3] Initially, there were fears that the species was being over-fished, but the ecological impact was lessened by the fact that only Quintana knew how to lure the creatures.[3] He fiercely guarded this secret up until his death, after which wands containing White River Monster spine cores were no longer made.[3]
