- "Look, we don't slay dragons. Not much for diggin' jewels. But there's one thing we can do I warrant, better than any creature in all Middle-earth. We stay true to each other."

Largo Brandyfoot was a Harfoot hobbit in the Second Age.
Biography[]
Largo was the father of Elanor and Dilly; their mother Rose died at some point of unknown means, and Largo was remarried to Marigold. As a member of the nomadic tribe led by Sadoc Burrows, he dwelt in the Rhovanion Hills, and as his trade made wheels for his kinsmen.
While his daughter Elanor, unbeknownst to him, was away with a mysterious Stranger, Largo attempted to help erect a pavilion for the upcoming festival, but when a rope snapped was thrown down, breaking his ankle. His family feared he would be unable to participate in the forthcoming migration, though he attempted to assuage their worries. When Elanor brought the Stranger back to the village by accident, Largo's family was sentenced to come last in the migration, and would have likely doomed them to fall behind had not the Stranger repaid Elanor's kindness to him by helping to pull the family's cart.
The village migrated east across Rhovanion, from Norfield Glen through the Braids and at last to the Grove, the orchards of which were ruined by Orodruin's eruption. The Stranger healed the trees, but chose to leave the Harfoots out of fear of harming them. When the evil Dweller and her companions passed by seeking the Stranger, Largo confronted them with his fellow villagers, only for the mystics to burn their carts. After the Stranger's return after Elanor, Marigold, and Poppy helped to rescue him, Largo decided it best for Elanor to accompany the Istar on his journey into the east.
