Gríma Wormtongue

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

A clever, craven counselor who sold his king for the promise of a woman — too weak to resist Saruman's will and too intelligent not to hate himself for it.

Also known as: Gríma, Wormtongue, Gríma Wormtongue, Gríma son of Gálmód
