Basso Boffin
Son of Buffo Boffin; Hobbit who visited the Sea. Basso Boffin was born in 2769 of the Third Age. He was the second son of Buffo and Ivy Boffin. Basso had three siblings: an older brother named Bosco, a younger sister Berylla, and a younger brother named Briffo.
Basso left the Shire and went to live near the Great Sea in 2795. It is not known what became of him. He may have passed over the Sea to live in the Undying Lands with the Elves, but it is more likely that he died at some point in Middle-Earth. No one is known to have accompanied Basso to the Sea.
