Pippin was one in the small group of Frodo's friends knowing about the [[One Ring (Middle-earth)|One Ring]] and Frodo's departure for [[Rivendell]]. He was the youngest of the group, not yet having 'come of age', and was cheerful, curious and sometimes a bit thoughtless. He later became part of the ''Fellowship of the Ring'', against the counsel of [[Elrond]]. In [[Khazad-dûm|Moria]] he threw a stone down a deep well, which probably alerted the Orcs to their whereabouts. At [[Amon Hen]] he and Merry were kidnapped by [[Saruman]]'s Orcs. At the border of the [[Fangorn|Fangorn Forest]] they managed to free themselves and escape into the wood, where they met the Ent [[Treebeard]]. They went with him on the ''Last March of the Ents'', and witnessed the destruction of [[Isengard]]. There they met Gandalf and the remaining members of the Fellowship who came with [[Théoden|King Théoden]] of Rohan. At Isengard, it was Pippin who picked up the ''[[palantír]]'' of Orthanc thrown by Gríma; this later compelled him to steal it from Gandalf while he slept, and looking into the palantír was interrogated by [[Sauron]]. Gandalf revived him and, telling him that not much harm was done, the group nevertheless had to break camp.
