haha this one has a bio... a long bio:::
Full Name: Peregrin Took
Parents: Paladin II Took, Eglatine Banks
Race: Hobbit
Weapon: Short Sword
Peregrin Took (T.A. 2990–?), better known to his friends as Pippin, is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth; a Hobbit, and one of Frodo Baggins's youngest but best friends.
Peregrin was the only son of Paladin Took II and wife Eglantine Banks, and therefore inherited Paladin's title of Thain of the Shire upon his death in F.A. 13. He had three older sisters, Pearl Took, Pimpernel Took, and Pervinca Took. His best friend Meriadoc Brandybuck is his cousin, son of Paladin's sister Esmeralda Brandybuck.
Pippin is the only hobbit who had not yet reached his 'coming of age' when the fellowship sets out (being eight years younger than Merry, while Frodo himself is 50 years of age) and is therefore still in his 'tweens'. He is a worthy accomplice to Merry's plans, but shows his age as well; he is still a cheerful, if occasionally thoughtless Hobbit, and is first to miss the comforts of Hobbit life. At Rivendell, Pippin is nearly denied the chance to accompany Frodo by Elrond who seriously considers using the youngest Hobbit to send as a messenger to the Shire. Gandalf, however, supports his and Merry's claims of friendship and loyalty, and Pippin is chosen as the last member of the Fellowship.
Remaining with the Fellowship until the breaking of the fellowship at Amon Hen, Pippin is captured by a Orc-band, which includes some of Saruman's evil Uruk-hai, along with Merry. While held captive by the Orcs, he purposefully drops his elven brooch (a gift from Lórien) as a sign for Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, who are in pursuit. During a skirmish amongst his captors, Pippin manages to cut his bonds using a sword held fast by a dead Uruk. In the land of Rohan, Pippin and Merry manage to escape when the Orcs are attacked by a company of Rohirrim, the local people. Upon their escape, he and Merry befriend Treebeard, leader of the Ents. They rouse the other Ents to fight against Saruman and they attack his stronghold Isengard, partially crippling his power.
It is Pippin who picks up the palantír of Orthanc after Gríma Wormtongue foolishly throws it as a missile; later, in an almost equally foolish act, Pippin actually steals it out of Gandalf's hands while the wizard sleeps, putting a rock in its place. Looking into the stone, he has a terrifying encounter with Sauron himself. Because of this, Gandalf separates him from his friends and brings him to the city of Minas Tirith. Meeting Denethor, Steward of Gondor, he volunteers for service to repay him for the death of Denethor's son Boromir, who had died trying to defend Merry and Pippin from the orcs. This amuses Denethor, who accepts the Hobbit's offer and makes him one of the elite Guards of the Citadel. Later, it is Pippin who rushes to fetch Gandalf when Denethor, driven to despair by seeing in the palantír a great force seemingly bringing the doom of Gondor, sets out to burn his son Faramir and himself alive.
Pippin was part of the Army of the West led by Aragorn that assaulted the Black Gate in a desperate gambit. During the final parley with the Mouth of Sauron, Gandalf instructed that members of each race that opposed Sauron be present at the parley, including Gimli for Dwarves, Legolas, Elladan and Elrohir (Elrond's twin sons) for Elves, and Pippin for Hobbits. During the last battle before the Morannon, Pippin manages to slay a troll before being knocked unconscious when the dying troll falls on him. Gimli later recognizes his Hobbit feet under the troll and drags him out of the battle, saving his life. After the restoration of the monarchy he is knighted by King Elessar, who then grants him indefinite leave to return home. Later he and Merry are instrumental in overthrowing Saruman's forces during the Scouring of the Shire.
In F.A. 6 Pippin marries Diamond of Long Cleeve, when she is 32 and he is 37. They have one son, Faramir. Faramir Took later marries Samwise Gamgee's daughter Goldilocks.
In the F.A. 13 Pippin inherits his father's title and becomes 32nd Thain of the Shire, a position he holds for 50 years before retiring in F.A. 63 and revisiting Rohan and Gondor with Merry. He remained in Gondor for the rest of his life.
Pippin probably died sometime after the year F.A. 64 and his body was set with Merry's in Rath Dínen.

i decided he was a good singer.
