Peregrin Took, better known as Pippin, is one of the four Hobbits who helped Frodo leave the Shire secretly in The Lord of the Rings.

In The Two Towers, he stole from Gandalf the palantir which he had saved from the waters of Saruman's destroyed fortress, and looking into it was interrogated by Sauron.
