Meriadoc Brandybuck

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

The sharpest mind among the Hobbits — a natural strategist disguised as a cheerful country gentleman who stabs the Witch-king of Angmar because he refuses to watch a friend die alone.

Also known as: Merry, Meriadoc, Meriadoc Brandybuck, Master Holdwine, Merry Brandybuck

What They Know

• The Barrow-blade he carries was forged specifically to fight the Witch-king — its enchantment can break the spell binding the Nazgûl to undeath
• Ent-draught causes physical growth in Hobbits and may have other long-term effects that even Treebeard doesn't fully understand
• The Old Forest and Tom Bombadil's domain border the Shire — ancient powers live closer to home than most Hobbits realize
• Saruman's weakness is vanity — he cannot conceive that creatures he considers beneath him could threaten his plans
• The Rohirrim organize their cavalry into eoreds and marshals — he has studied their battle formations
• Théoden accepted him as an esquire of Rohan, a bond of fealty that carries real legal and emotional weight
