Garradoc, son of Derradoc, originated from Brandywine, the Shire, where he was a simple gardener. He was born on the 3rd of Foreyule in Shire reckoning. In his childhood his parents and him moved to Hobbiton and lived on number 3, New Row, (also known as “Sharkey’s End”). In his childhood he helped his father on their farm, and his mum worked as a entertainer in the Green Dragon. His life as a Took was great, though the quieter side of his family, his Mother's side, wanted him to just be a simple Gardener, though the took side of Garradoc was revealed! He took an instant interest in walking about the Shire and adventuring, though this was to his Mother's dislike; she let him do it, and his Father was very proud of Garradoc! His Grandfather also, was very proud, so his Grandfather gifted him a sword, which Garradoc named Fortinbras III. At the age of Fifteen, his Father and Grandfather both took Garradoc on an adventure! They travelled to Bree-town and back, Garradoc loved it, but on the way back something very terrible happened, very terrible indeed. On the way back to the Shire, a band of Brigands attacked their camp! There was about five to ten of them, Garradoc did not kill none, but wounded few. But his father killed one of them, they were ransacked, and Garradoc's grandfather went into shock and died. From that day on Garradoc wanted to protect all those who were travelling down the east road, so he did this by watching the Shire border, his eyes became ever watchful, and he could see very far. He met many travellers, and one certain "ranger", whilst watching the border, he vow's to protect the border and take vengeance for what happened to his Grandfather, he is now Twenty-nine years old and has been protecting the border for almost fifteen years, it is what he will do for all his life! Not much has happened in his life, though he is young; for a hobbit, and yet still much can happen, and in the many years to go he can travel far and protect much.
