Second-oldest Hobbit on record. Gerontius Took was the son of Thain Fortinbras I. He was born in 2790. Gerontius married Adamanta Chubb and they had twelve children: Isengrim III, Hildigard, Isumbras IV, Hildigrim, Isembold, Hildifons, Isembard, Hildibrand, Belladonna, Donnamira, Mirabella, and Isengar. Their daughter Belladonna was the mother of Bilbo Baggins.
After the death of his father in 2848, Gerontius became the 26th Thain of the Shire. He held the office for 72 years, the longest of any Thain recorded. One of the most imporant events to occur in the Shire during this time was the Fell Winter of 2911, when White Wolves crossed the frozen Brandywine River.

Gerontius was acquainted with Gandalf. The Wizard once gave him a pair of magic diamond studs that fastened themselves and stayed closed until ordered to open. Gandalf also provided fireworks at Midsummer's Eve parties hosted by Gerontius.

Gerontius had a huge room in the Great Smials where he lived for many years. The furniture was not moved or changed even long after his death, and the room had an old, musty feel. Gerontius' great-great-grandson Pippin Took was reminded of this room while in Fangorn Forest.

Gerontius died in 2920 at the age of 130, the longest any Hobbit had lived. But on September 22, 3021, this record was surpassed when Bilbo Baggins turned 131.
