Marcho and Blanco
The senior of the two famous Hobbits who negotiated with the King of Arnor, King Argeleb II, for the lands of the Shire, Marcho especially was a visionary. Marcho had served as chieftain of the Fallohides, and he and his brother Blanco were, by their bold and spirited arguments, granted the privilege of leading the parade of joyful little settlers across the Bridge of Stonebows into their new home. For this great achievement, minor though it seemed to local Men, they were hailed by all of their people as the pioneers of their new land, and the founders of their society.
In organising the strife which transpired between the somewhat different tribes of Hobbits after they were newly moved into the Shire, however, they were less than fully successful, and for a time Hobbit tribes conspired and bickered amongst each other for tracts of the new donative. He only succeded in preventing physical warfare between individual Hobbit tribes, and afterwards even the most rustic of Hobbits abstained from conflict, and hence he kept them from developing warlike tendencies amonst themselves. But it is unlikely that anyone could have done better than the two Fallohidish brothers, considering Hobbitish tendencies to extreme territorialism. Indeed, even after settlement, the three tribes of the Hobbits maintained their own unique cultures, and each thoroughly claimed its territory, and regarded their ways as proper. Nonetheless, in their time and for many centuries afterwards, Marcho and his brother Blanco were revered for granting to the Hobbits the most memorable of gifts, a land, realm, and state of their own: the Shire.
