Bilbo was descended from the Took line of Hobbits on his mother\u2019s side \u2014 indeed the fabulous Belladonna Took was friends with Gandalf the Grey before Bilbo was born \u2014 which contributed to his latent wanderlust, a trait considered deeply counter to Hobbit sensibilities.<\/p>\n<p>He lived in a luxurious (by hobbit standards) dwelling known across the countryside as Bag End, which was built by his father, Bungo. In 2941, Bilbo was recruited by Gandalf to operate as a Burglar in the Quest for Erebor (the Lonely Mountain) \u2014 and his many adventures truly marked the beginning of the Hobbits\u2019 involvement in the affairs of the world outside their insular Shire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[<a href=\"\/torwp\/the-hobbit\/characters\/bilbo-baggins\/\">Read the Full Profile<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s featured character profile is none other than Mr. Bilbo Baggins!
