== Biography ==
According to Gandalf, Treebeard is the oldest known Ent. He remembers how Elves taught trees how to speak. He had a wife Fimbrethil. But after all female Ents were lost, he and the other male Ents isolated. After the Istari came to the Arda, Treebeard befriended Saruman and talked a lot with him. Treebeard and other Ents didn't partake in The War Of The Ring until he met Merry and Pippin, who escaped Saruman's orks, who kidnapped the earlier. Even after what Merry and Pippin told him, Treebeard initially didn't want to partake in the war and decided to send them back home. But after seeing what Saruman did to the forest, Treebeard and other Ents destructed the entire Isengard and killed all the orks who were there. He also guarded Saruman, but the latter escaped. It is unknown what happened to him after The War Of The Ring, but he and other Ents are mentioned searching for their wives. Treebeard even asks Merry and Pippin to tell him if they know something.
