Bobby Pendragon is the eponymous main character from D. J. MacHale's Pendragon series.

Description

Bobby is about 5'5 at the beginning of the series; however, by the "Pilgrims of Rayne", he is just under 6 feet. In "The Never War" he weighs 110 pounds.

Bobby Pendragon is the protagonist of the Pendragon series. He was a fairly average fourteen year old boy and suburban basketball star living in the fictional suburb of Stony Brook, Connecticut at the beginning of the series. However his uncle (Press Tilton), soon informs him that he is a Traveler and must help save "Halla" ( described as every time, place and thing that ever has, or ever will, exist) from Saint Dane, the series' antagonist, who wants nothing more than to plunge each territory into chaos.

Bobby's adventures are chronicled in a collection of journals that he writes to his best friends and acolytes (assistants) on Second Earth, Mark Dimond and Courtney Chetwynde. As he follows Saint Dane from territory to territory, Bobby forms friendships with the Travelers of the other territories. He also grows wiser and becomes a better strategist every time he battles Saint Dane, although Saint Dane always seems to get the upper hand.

Bobby ages throughout the series; he turns fifteen in "The Never War", sixteen in "Black Water", seventeen by "The Quillian Games", and eighteen in "Raven Rise".

Although Bobby is first in love with Courtney, in book 6 it was revealed that he has come to love Loor, the Traveler of Zadaa. Loor notices his feelings but refuses to act upon them, stating that a relationship beyond that of a friendship would "interfere with our mission as Travelers". However, Loor kisses Bobby at the end of Raven Rise. Although it seems that Bobby has "broken up" with Courtney, she seems unwilling to allow the relationship evanesce to a friendship. When reading of Bobby's feelings for Loor, she merely states, "This isn't over". At the end of "Raven Rise" Bobby is found together with all the Travelers, both dead and alive, who are preparing for their final stand against Saint Dane. However, Mark and Courtney's state of existence is left a mystery.
