Bobby Pendragon is the eponymous main character from D. J. MacHale's Pendragon series.
Description
Robert Pendragon (preferably called Bobby) is the main character of the Pendragon series. He is a fourteen year old boy in the first book and is a suburban basketball star living in the fictional suburb of Stony Brook, Connecticut, at the beginning of the series. He is said to have brown hair and brown eyes and to be, near the end of the series, only a little over 6' tall.He is interested in Courtney. He likes her a lot and she is his romantic interest throughout the series, though it can be assumed that, if he had continued on as a traveler rather than getting a second chance at life (in the last book), they would have remained friends, as Bobby deveops intense feelings for Loor, the traveler from Zadaa, throughout the series. Bobby had even stated himself that they had grown into two different people as a result of his status as lead traveler and had he remained on Second Earth, their relationship, more than likely, would have flourished.
Bobby ages throughout the series; he turns fifteen in The Never War, sixteen in Black Water, seventeen in The Quillian Games and eighteen in Raven Rise. Whether MacHale deliberately created this transition is unknown. Bobby's emotional maturity and moral sense increase in each book.He also becomes better at strategizing, compromising, predicting and knowing the enemy, and thinking wisely and Bobby is seen leading or occupying a key position in several wars throughout the series.
Bobby is the lead traveler who has battled against Saint Dane on countless occasions with many help from other travelers. He has even killed Saint Dane once, only to see him reform again, stating that it was pointless to try to kill him. Bobby has befriended almost every traveler of his generation, and indeed every traveler he has met (with the exception of Saint Dane and Nevva Winter)and each of them has helped him in the battle for the territory. When Bobby was first taken from his home on the quest to save Denduron, he was confused and scared, with almost no knowledge of travelers, leaving him with many questions in the books, such as why he was chosen to be the lead traveler, or who made the flumes. Though, later development of Bobby shows his vast knowledge of Halla. He is not in fact human but a artificial being created to destroy Saint Dane.
After he destroys Saint Dane, Bobby and the other travelers are allowed to live the life they would have had if they weren't travelers. We are shown Bobby and Courtney Chetwynde in a scene mirroring their first scene in the series. However, it is shown that rather than the young teens as before, this Bobby and Courtney are much older, Bobby himself being confined to a hospital bed. Bobby and Courtney think over their lives. Courtney and he went to different colleges and lead separate lives for several years, Bobby becoming a successful writer, Courtney becoming a TV news producer. They eventually reunite in calirfornia. Bobby jumped at the chance at appearing in a charity even Courtney would do a special on. Two years pass and they marry. Mark Dimond went to MIT, became a wealthy technology designer of 3D computer graphing but and died a multimillionaire at age fourty due to a heart attack. Bobby and Courtney kiss as a mysterious stranger (Press Tilton) barges into Bobby's hospital room and gives Bobby a box containing "a story. A good one. Told in thirty-seven chapters." Press states he has nine more journals to deliver. He also leaves a box of french fries for the two, the fries being reminiscent of their youth.
