Bobby Pendragon

Bobby Pendragon is the eponymous main character in the Pendragon series.

Description
Robert "Bobby" Pendragon is the main character of the Pendragon series. He is a fourteen year old boy in the first book. At the beginning of the series, he is a suburban basketball star living in the fictional suburb of Stony Brook, Connecticut. 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. His "girlfriend" is Courtney Chetwynde, after she confesses her feelings for him in the first book, though in The Rivers of Zadaa  he confesses his deep feelings for Loor, the Traveler from Zadaa.

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. 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. 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 killed and harrassed almost every Traveler of his generation, and indeed every Traveler he has met (with the exception of Saint Dane) has helped him in the battle for Halla. 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 an artificial being created to destroy Saint Dane.

After he destroys Saint Dane, Uncle Press grants him and the other Travelers a normal life on their home world. In the epilogue, we are shown Bobby and Courtney Chetwynde in a scene mirroring their first scene in the series. However, Bobby and Courtney are much older, Bobby being confined to a hospital bed and Courtney with gray hair. Bobby and Courtney went to different colleges and lead separate lives for several years, Bobby becoming a successful writer and Courtney becoming a TV news producer. They eventually reunite at a charity event and marry. Mark Dimond went to MIT, became a wealthy technology and died a multimillionaire at age 40 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." He also mentions that he has "nine more of these to give." Possibly, these books are the journals of the Travelers.
