| '''Peregrin Took''' 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.

| ==History==
| |
| | |
| ===Name & Heritage===
| |
| | |
| He was born in the [[Third Age]] 2990 to [[Paladin Took II]] and [[Eglantine Banks]], thus heir to the title of [[Thain]]. He had three older sisters, [[Pearl Took]], [[Pimpernel Took]], and [[Pervinca Took]]. His true [[Westron]] name was '''Razanur Tûk'''.
| |
| | |
| ===Actions during the War of the Ring===
| |
| | |
| He was a part of the [[Conspirators]], and eventually joined [[Frodo Baggins]] on his quest to destroy the One Ring, along with his friends [[Meriadoc Brandybuck]] and [[Samwise Gamgee]]. At [[Bree]], his 'Tookish' qualities got the group into trouble, when he inadvertantly caused the One Ring to fall upon Frodo's finger.
| |
| | |
| After reaching [[Rivendell]], he, with Merry, insisted on not being left behind on the Quest of the Ring. Therefore they were chosen as the eighth and ninth members of the [[Fellowship of the Ring]].
| |
| | |
| In [[Moria]], Pippin carelessly dropped a stone down a well, possibly alerting the orcs which had inhabited the mines of the Company's presence.
| |
| | |
| Captured along with Merry upon [[Amon Hen]] by a band of [[Uruk-hai]], Pippin displayed a keen sense of intelligence by leaving a trail of footprints and dropping his [[Lórien]] brooch for Aragorn to find. They eventually escaped to become the first mortals for many centuries to encounter the [[Ents]] of [[Fangorn Forest]].
| |
| | |
| Pippin was also present at the destruction of [[Isengard]], but was soon taken by Gandalf to [[Minas Tirith]], after looking into the palantir of [[Orthanc]] and being mistaken by Sauron for the Ringbearer. There he pledged allegiance to [[Denethor]] and became a Guard of the Citadel. During the [[Siege of Gondor]], he helped save the life of [[Faramir son of Denethor II|Faramir]], and at the [[Battle of the Morannon]] he slew a troll in defense of [[Beregond]].
| |
| | |
| ===After the war===
| |
| | |
| Along with Merry, he led the victory at the [[Battle of Bywater]], and eventually married Diamond of Long Cleeve. They had a son named Faramir.
| |
| | |
| Pippin retired to [[Gondor]] in the year 64 of the Fourth Age, and when he died his bed was laid beside that of Merry and the King [[Elessar]].
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| ==Portrayal in adaptations==
| |
| Peregrin Took was played by [[Billy Boyd]] in [[Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings]]. [[Peter Jackson]] has been accused of making his character seem foolish and bumbling.
