Harry Goatleaf

Harry Goatleaf was a Man of Bree and a member of the Goatleaf Family. He worked as the keeper of the western gate in the great hedge that surrounded the township of Bree.
As such, he was the first of the Men encountered by Frodo and his companions on their travels during the War of the Ring - he greeted them gruffly on their arrival at the town.
He is killed when the Black Riders knock the gate down and crush him underneath it as they storm Bree.
