Corrin Gardner was born to mother, Clover Greenhand and father, Jack Gardner in the Hobbit town of Waymeet nestled within the foothills of the Crystolis Mountains. He is the oldest of 5 boys and 7 girls.

As his surname suggests, the Gardner family has happily tended to Waymeet’s gardens for more than 10 generations. As fate would have it, though mostly through Corrin’s own doing, the agrarian lifestyle did not favor him. Even as a adolescent, Corrin had always found ways to pilfer various items from all over town, mostly from Old Farmer Pott.

At some point during his 18th birthday celebration and after numerous mugs of ale, he happened upon a beautiful, young Hobbit by the name of Dahlia Smallburrow at his party. The two instantly fell for one another. A short time passed, Corrin and Dahlia are on the verge of marriage until a near-tragedy strikes. Corrin’s parents had received a letter that his Aunt Lily had been kidnapped by parties unknown. While there wasn’t much more they could do than worry, Corrin snuck away to Iberia to find his aunt. Before his secret departure, he left notes for both Dahlia and his parents as to the reasons for leaving. However, he outlined to his parents that he was merely leaving to go help Nibs with his business in the city. He entrusted the full truth of his intentions to Dahlia and asked her to keep it to herself. Corrin expressed to her that he would send for her once these troubles were over.

From his very first day in Iberia, he sought out any information that would lead him to his aunt’s kidnappers. The trail of information quickly led him into the “shady” parts of the city. Yet even in the dark, seedy corners and back alleys, this little Halfling seemed almost at home among these places. Corrin soon happened upon his cousin, Drogo. Already aware of his mother’s peril, Drogo enlisted Corrin’s help to find her. In less than a month’s time, the two young Hobbits were able to discover Lily’s kidnappers AND bring her home safely.

Corrin’s adventures, of course, did not end here nor did the persons responsible for his aunt’s abduction just go away. He would have more run-ins with them as time passed. Suffice it to say, he gave their leader a sting that he wouldn’t soon forget.
