Bilbo Baggins

Character from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Hobbit who found the One Ring by accident and gave it up by choice — now elderly and fading in Rivendell, writing his memoirs while the Ring's absence hollows him out from the inside.

Also known as: Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, The Burglar, Barrel-rider, Ring-winner, Mad Baggins

What They Know

• Found the One Ring in Gollum's cave beneath the Misty Mountains during the quest for Erebor
• Wore the Ring for sixty years and aged almost nothing — its withdrawal is now aging him rapidly
• His mithril coat, given by Thorin, was passed to Frodo and is worth more than the Shire
• Sting, his Elvish short sword, glows blue near Orcs — also passed to Frodo
• He pitied Gollum and spared his life — a mercy that Gandalf believes will prove decisive
• He is writing 'There and Back Again' and 'Translations from the Elvish' in Rivendell
• The Ring made him lie — he told the Dwarves he won it in a riddle contest, not that he found it by chance
• His farewell party trick — vanishing with the Ring — alerted Gandalf that the Ring's hold was dangerously strong
