Biography
Peregrin, more commonly known as Pippin, was a Hobbit of the Shire who was a loyal friend to Frodo throughout the Fellowship of the Ring. Pippin joined the Fellowship at age twenty-eight, meaning he was still in his tweens. Pippin succeeded in defending Gondor well and saved his friend Merry during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields and became a mighty knight of Gondor.
Peregrin Took was born in 2990 of the Third Age. He was the son of Paladin Took II, Thain of the Shire, and his wife Eglantine Banks Took. They lived in the Great Smials in Tuckborough, the main village of Tookland.
Pippin was great friends with Merry Brandybuck, who was also his cousin. They played many games and tricks on others and were often considered uncontrollable rascals. Pippin was also great friends with Frodo Baggins, who was also his cousin and the heir of Bilbo Baggins of Bag End in Hobbiton.
In the years between 3001 and 3018, it was apparent to Pippin, Merry, and Sam Gamgee that their friend Frodo was worried or upset about something and was no longer happy in the Shire. The friends were determined to find out what it was.
It was, in fact, the One Ring of Sauron which Frodo possessed. In April of 3018, Gandalf told Frodo the horrible history of his magic Ring and Frodo immediately realized that he needed to take it far away from his beloved Shire. In September, Pippin and Sam were chosen to accompany Frodo to Crickhollow, the village in which Frodo had purchased a new house. He sold Bag End.
On September 23, 3018, the three companions set out from Bag End. In the woods of Woody End, they hid from the Nazgul named Khamul. He was attracted to the Ring that Frodo owned, but was scared off by Gildor Inglorion, an Elf who supplied the Hobbits with food and warned them to stay off the rode.
On September 25, the Hobbits reached Bamfurlong in the Marish. Farmer Maggot took them in for supper and warned Frodo of the Nazgul that confronted him earlier that day. The farmer rode the Hobbits to Buckland, where they were met by Merry.
The four Hobbits rode across the Brandywine River to Crickhollow. At Frodo's new house, Pippin and Merry revealed their knowledge of the quest and how they wanted to come with Frodo. He agreed, and they left the Shire the next morning.
Merry led the companions into the Old Forest on September 26. At the eastern borders, the companions were attacked by Old Man Willow and Pippin and Merry were imprisoned in his trunk. They were freed by Tom Bombadil, master of the forest. He let the Hobbits stay the night at his house.
In the morning, the Hobbits travelled through the Barrow-downs, where they were captured by a Barrow-wight. Tom Bombadil saved them on September 29 and sent them to Bree. Before they left, they were each given an ancient sword of Arnor. Pippin named his "Troll's Bane" later on.
In Bree, the Hobbits booked a room at the Prancing Pony on September 29. They socialized with local Breelanders and Pippin accidentally gave away Frodo's true identity. He was scolded, but nevertheless, the evil Southerners got ahold of the information they needed to report to the Nazgul.
Frodo noticed Aragorn staring at him. The strange man introduced himself as Strider. He warned them of those who hunted them, the Nine Nazgul.
That night, the ponies were released. Barliman Butterbur bought them a new pony named Bill in payment of their loss.
On September 30, the Hobbits departed Bree accompanied by Aragorn. He guided the Hobbits to Weathertop, where the camped for the night.
Pippin, Merry, and Sam watched in horror as Frodo put the Ring on and was stabbed by the Witch King. Aragorn used fire to frighten the Nazgul away. He then rushed to find Athelas.
Pippin, Merry, Sam, and Aragorn reached Rivendell in early October. While Frodo was being cured of his wound, Pippin's high spirits faded. When Frodo got out of bed from his wound, Pippin became very excited to see his friend well again.
On October 25, Pippin and Merry secretly attended the Council of Elrond. Elrond thought it unwise that Merry and Pippin accompany Frodo and the Fellowship, but they were allowed to join by Gandalf. The Fellowship were nine to face the Nine Nazgul. The other members were Frodo, Aragorn, Gandalf, Sam, Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir. They set out for to destroy the Ring in Mordor on December 25.
On January 13 of 3019, the Fellowship reached the West Gate of Moria. Gandalf tried to open the West Gates while Pippin asked him all sorts of questions, some on topic and some quite random. Gandalf found these questions annoying and eventually stopped answering them.
In the mines of Moria, Pippin accidentally dropped a rock down an old well in the Chamber of Mazarbul. Gandalf called him a fool. Suddenly, drumming sounded in the deep. Soon after, many hosts of Goblins attacked led by horrible Chieftains and a Troll.
After escaping the force, the Fellowship rested and Pippin was given the duty of night watch. He felt sad, and Gandalf felt pitiful and took his place.
The Fellowship reached the Bridge of Khazad-Dum, where Gandalf and the Balrog fell into the bottomless abyss. Gandalf was temporarily defeated.
In Lothlorien, Merry and Pippin were given two Silver Belts by Galadriel as a parting gift. The Fellowship set sail down the Anduin River.
They reached Amon Hen on February 26. There, a skirmish occurred between the Fellowship and Saruman's Uruk-Hai. They sought the Ring. Frodo and Sam escaped to Mordor to cast it away into the fires of Mount Doom. Pippin and Merry distracted the Uruks, but were captured and held captive. Boromir was killed and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli had to hold a funeral for him.
The Uruk clan took the Hobbits across Rohan. They were heading in the direction of Isengard, where Saruman would take the Ring from them. They, of course, did not have the Ring. But as long as the Uruks thought they did, they were safe. If they knew that they did not, they would eat them.
Ugluk was the leader of the Uruk clan. He followed Saruman's strict orders that the Halflings were to be brought to him alive and unspoiled. In the trilogy film, Snaga tried to eat the Hobbits but was killed and eaten by Ugluk.
While Merry was wounded on the head, Pippin managed to stay awake and alert. He dropped his Elven-brooch as a sign for Aragorn to find them. He also cut he and Merry's bonds before they escaped.
That night of February 29, a Rohirrim force slew all of the Uruks but an Orc named Grishnakh. Grishnakh wanted the Ring and tried to take it from the Hobbits, who did not possess it. He was eventually killed and the Hobbits escaped into Fangorn Forest.
They climbed a tree, which turned out to be an Ent named Treebeard. Treebeard thought they were Orcs and needed Gandalf the White to confirm that they were Hobbits as they claimed.
An Entmoot, or gathering of Ents, was held on February 30 and lasted until March 2. Quickbeam stayed with the Hobbits in Treebeard's Ent-house while the Entmoot lasted. They drank Ent-draught from the Entwash and eventually grew to four feet and five inches.
On March 2, the Ents decided to march to war and attack Isengard. Pippin and Merry accompanied them. Saruman and Wormtongue were shocked to find their lands ruined. The Ents flooded the country and completely wiped out all of Saruman's armies. After the battle was won, Pippin and Merry found Saruman's pipe-weed.
On March 5, Gandalf arrived at Isengard with Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli. They rode with King Theoden of Rohan. At Orthanc, Gandalf spoke to Saruman. They argued and fought, and Grima threw down Saruman's palantir, which Pippin picked up and took an interest in. Gandalf snatched it from him and tried to warn him off, but Pippin was determined to see what was in the seeing-stone.
Pippin looked into the palantir later that day and saw Sauron. He also saw the destruction of Minas Tirith. Gandalf concluded that Sauron attempted to conquer Gondor. He and Pippin rode especially swiftly on Shadowfax to Minas Tirith to warn the people there that war was upon them.
Once they reached the city, Pippin and Gandalf entered Tower Hall. There they met Denethor, Steward of Gondor. Pippin pitied him for the loss of his son Boromir, so he offered his services. He then became a Guard of the Citadel.
As a mighty guard, Pippin was instructed by Beregond. He was to defend the White Tree. He was given mighty clothes colored black and silver.
Pippin met Faramir on March 10. This man was the second son of Denethor and he told Gandalf that Pippin resembled another Hobbit who crossed his path: Frodo. He then warned Gandalf that Frodo was taking the pass of Cirith Ungol.
During the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, Pippin found Merry in a terrible state on the Pelennor after helping slay the Witch-King. Pippin brought Merry to the Houses of Healing where he was mended by Ioreth and her nurses.
On March 18, Pippin rode with the Host of the West to the Battle of Morannon at the Black Gate. There, he stabbed a Troll and named his sword "Troll's Bane."
Pippin returned to the Shire on October 30 with Frodo, Sam, and Merry. They found that it was taken by the forces of Ruffians who followed Saruman. Pippin gathered his forces and the Hobbits rebelled against the invaders. On November 3, Pippin led his forces to rebel against the Ruffians in the Battle of Bywater. Merry recorded a list of names of Hobbits who fought in the battle in the Roll. Pippin's name was at the top of the list.
In 3021, Pippin went to the Grey Havens to bid Frodo farewell. He then returned to the Shire and moved to Crickhollow.
In year 6 of the Fourth Age, Pippin married Diamond of Long Cleave. She was a distant relative of his. They had a son named Faramir.
In year 13, Pippin was named Thain of the Shire at the death of his father Paladin. He was also named a Counsellor of the North-Kingdom of Arnor by King Aragorn.
Pippin visited Aragorn in Annuminas from time to time. He also visited Eomer in Rohan and Minas Tirith in Gondor.
The Great Smials was turned into a library by Pippin and the Thain's Book was placed there.
In year 63, Merry and Pippin visited Eomer and accompanied him to his death bed. They went to Minas Tirith to die there with Aragorn in year 64. Aragorn died in 120, but nevertheless he was buried next to them in the royal tombs of the city.
