Blanco Fallowhide



The younger brother of Marcho (and always known by that relation), Blanco was a fairly savvy leader and diplomat in his own right. But he mainly served as counsellor and provided moral support for his brother, who truly had greater gifts, Blanco demonstrated great devotion to his brother, and to the cause of Hobbits in general. During the chaos that ensued after the Founding of the Shire, Blanco was remembered for his singularly impassioned plea to the warring clans from the Hobbiton town square, when Marcho was too distraught to respond. This speech, little noted in history, was actually adecisive factor in the eventual calming of the Hobbitish territorial disputes.
