Bio - Archibold Daringfoot

Postby Archibold » Thu May 31, 2007 10:12 am

A simple hobbit story...

Archibold was born in Overhill , just north of Hobbiton. Near Binbole wood.
His father Bolgo and his mother Rosey had eight more boys and two daughters.
Bolgo Daringfoot was a forester , once proud officer of Shire Bounders and later accomplished adventurer. He retired to quieter life after marrying Rosey, but enjoying reasonable well being, earned from his , now past adventuring days.

Archibold was always merry and lively hobbit boy. But constantly had to prove himself over his many brothers. He early decided calm and peaceful life of everyday hobbit was not for him. What he craved was adventure and excitement! Just as his old man, once. Was is not what Darringfots were known for ?

Therefor he joined bounders at age of 30. He excelled and bounding the shire , showing remarkable courage and cunning. Some time later he became well known for
slaying a hill troll in Rushuck bog , near Needlehole.
( albeit with "help" of certain dwarven war company )

His tales ( largely exaggerated ) were told all over the Shire , where he was now known as "Red Rooster". Partially because his red hair and cocky, daring attitude , and partially because of his family crest ( picturing red rooster ) that he wore on the cape.

After becoming honorary sheriff of Shire , Archibold decided to seek his fortune and fame as adventurer. He made his way towards Bree land , where in Town of Bree he came upon grim looking elf named Lirandel.

The rest is hobbit history ...
