Hobbits

Peregrin Took

Also known as: Pippin, Guard Of The Citadel, Thain Of The Shire

The youngest member of the Fellowship and Merry's closest friend. Pippin was often impulsive, most fatefully when he looked into the palantir of Orthanc and was briefly questioned by Sauron himself. He swore service to Denethor in Minas Tirith as a Guard of the Citadel, partly out of grief for Boromir. He helped save Faramir from Denethor's madness and fought at the Black Gate, where he slew a great Troll. After the war he became Thain of the Shire and was known as a great leader. In old age, both he and Merry traveled to Gondor and were laid to rest beside King Elessar.
