Eustace Grubb

Eustace Grubb was a Hobbit of the Shire. A member of the Grubb Family, he was the son of Freddi Grubb and grandson of Farmer Grubb considered to be very ambitious towards his own kin. Joining the Ruffians, he aided his employer Lotho Sackville-Baggins in the legal machinations that presaged his seizure of power. After the Battle of the Shire, Eustace fled into the wild and spent the rest of his life serving unscrupulous Arnorian merchants as an "expert advisor" on Hobbit affairs.
