Peregrin Took (Third Age 2990 - at least Fourth Age 64; 1390 - 1484 in Shire Reckoning, reaching at least 94-years-oldTemplate:Ref) was one of the Hobbits in the Fellowship of the Ring. He was the youngest of the Company, being in his tweens, but grew up quickly and eventually became a Knight of Gondor. Elrond, at least, seemed to doubt his capability for the quest, but Pippin proved to be a loyal and courageous friend.
Heritage and Family
He was born in the Third Age 2990 (1390 in Shire Reckoning) to Paladin Took and Eglantine Banks, making him a great-great-grandson of The Old Took. Pippin was not destined to become Thain, but his father inherited the title in S.R. 1415 from Ferumbras Took III when he died without an heir. Pippin had three older sisters, Pearl Took, Pimpernel Took, and Pervinca Took.Template:Ref
Through his father, Pippin was a first cousin of Merry (the future Master of Buckland), the second-cousin once-removed of Frodo, and the first-cousin twice-removed of Bilbo. He was not blood-related to Sam, but Pippin's son Faramir married Sam's daughter Goldilocks in 1463.
