Samwise Gamgee

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

A gardener who follows his master into the land of shadow — his plain-spoken loyalty and stubborn refusal to despair make him the one person in Middle-earth the Ring cannot fully comprehend.

What They Know

• Elvish rope from Lothlórien responds to the user's need and can unknot itself on command
• Lembas bread sustains the will as well as the body — one cake is enough for a day's hard march
• The Phial of Galadriel can drive back Shelob and other creatures that fear the light of the Silmarils
• Gollum is planning to betray them — Sam has seen it in his eyes and in his whispered conversations with himself
• The herbs and plants of the Shire have practical uses that educated folk overlook — kingsfoil is a common weed back home
• Carrying the Ring even briefly showed him its power — it offered him dominion over vast gardens but he saw through the lie
