== Charactah Account ==
Merry is a sensible, take-charge hobbit and one of Frodo's closest friends. Concerned about Frodo's safety, he joins the quest early on and organizes some conspiracies and shortcuts, some of which go better than others. Plagued by feelings of self-doubt, he nevertheless goes on to become a knight of Rohan and participates in the War of the Ring.
Merry was born in TA 2982. He was the only child of Saradoc Brandybuck the Master of Buckland, and Esmeralda Took, the younger sister of Paladin II Took. This made him first cousin to Paladin's son Pippin, who was also his closest friend.
Merry was often considered the most perceptive and intelligent of the hobbits, for example, knowing of the One Ring and its power even before Frodo Baggins left the Shire.
