**Bilbo Baggins** was known to be an adventuorous hobbit who was born in the Shire and the former owner of Bag End. He had a strong strain of Fallohide blood running in him, and developed the corresponding love for adventure, Elves, Dwarves, and places outside the borders of the Shire. He was the son of the staid Bungo and the adventurous Belladonna Took. Bilbo had existed quietly for most of his life, living off his late parents' considerable fortune, supplemented with freelance work as a scrivener and tutor for illiterate hobbits and rent from the inhabitants of Bagshot Row further down the Hill.

In the year TA 2941, Bilbo first met Gandalf, who offered him to serve as Thórin and Company's burglar. On this adventure, Bilbo first visited Rivendell and many other legendary places in Middle-Earth (including Goblin-Town, Thranduil's Palace in Mirkwood, and Erebor). He played an important part in the slaying of the Dragon Smaug, most chiefly by noticing the weak spot in the Worm's underbelly where Bard Bowman was able to land his deadly Black Arrow. But most importantly, Bilbo was led by fate to discover Sauron's long lost One Ring in Gollum's cave in the depths of the Misty Mountains, beneath the lairs of the Goblins of the High Pass. Following his adventures, he was able to live comfortably in the Shire on his portion of the Dragon-hoard.

Ever since his adventure, he adopted his young relative Frodo after Frodo's parents Drogo and Primula Baggins, were killed in a terrible accident. Bilbo and Frodo lived happily together in Bag End for many years since they shared the same birthdays.

At the age of 111, with a dramatic exit, Bilbo had left the Shire during his eleventy-first and Frodo's 33rd birthday, a party which Bilbo called the Farewell Feast. At this time, Bilbo's possessions, including the awesome One Ring which came into Frodo's hands. Bilbo remained in Rivendell for over a year, except for visits to Dale and Erebor. During this time, Bilbo devoted himself to writing, poetry, song-making, and scholarly work. Some of the significant works among these are the first part of the *Red Book of Westmarch*, entitled *There and Back Again*, the poems "Errantry" and its epic reworking (with help from Aragorn), "The Lay of Eärendil"; and the great scholarly piece entitled *Translations From the Elvish*. These works credit Bilbo as the greatest of all Hobbitish scholars.

When Bilbo passed over the sea with the Last Riding of the Keepers of the Ring during the early years of the Fourth Age, he was the oldest Hobbit who had ever lived, at 131 years and 8 days (with the exception of Gollum). He passed away in comfort while he lived at Tol Eressëa sometime later. He is remembered as much for his extreme generosity, self-deprecation, and scholarship as he is for his exploits and accomplishments.

**Fredegar Bolger** was a Hobbit of the Shire and a close friend of Frodo Baggins who knew that he had the One Ring and was tasked to look after the Bag End.

## History

A descendant of Hildibrand Took, who was one of the many sons of the Old Took, Fredegar Bolger was a member of the Bolger clan. He was the son of Odovacar and Rosamunda Bolger, and the elder brother of Estella, , who would eventually marry Meriadoc Brandybuck. Born in TA 2975, Fredegar and his family lived in Budgeford of the Eastfarthing and was good friend of Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took, Meridoc Brandybuck, Folco Boffin.

In TA 3001, Fredegar and many members of the Bolger clan were invited to attend Bilbo Baggins' 111th Birthday Party and celebrate happily. After Bilbo left the Shire and ventured towards Rivendell, Fredegar received a message from Frodo and Sam that they were leaving the Shire on an important mission. This mission involved the One Ring which was kept in the Shire for 60 years and it belonged to the Dark Lord Sauron. Fredegar however was a typical hobbit who had never left the Shire and was unwilling to do so, but would play his role; he stayed behind to keep up the pretense that Frodo was there, by wearing his clothes and keep the house occupied, and deal with any "inquisitive folk".

Remaining behind, Fredegar was one of the hobbits that looked after Bag End and prevent the Sacksville-Baggins from taking the house. After hearing that Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin were pursued by the Black Riders, Fredegar was given the option to flee with the others into the Old Forest, which however didn't seem more inviting to him. Fredegar therefore opted to remain behind as a decoy for the Nazgûl and as a messenger for Gandalf in case he showed up, but Gandalf had recently traveled to Isengard to meet with Saruman and ended up imprisoned due to Saruman's betrayal and pledging his oath to the Dark Lord. Once the Ringwraiths come in the night of Crickhollow looking for Frodo, a frightened Fredegar escaped to raise the alarm of Buckland, causing the Brandybucks to sound the horn-call of Buckland. This caused the Nazgûl to flee, but they had learned that the Ring was gone.

As the war pressed on, Saruman the Wise sent the Ruffians to takeover the Shire. During the takeover, Fredegar and Estella gathered a group of partisans to stand against the Ruffians and their leaders from taking their land. They led an attack in the Brockenbores around the hills of Scary, but their efforts failed. Fredegar and Estella were both imprisoned in the Lockholes and were left to be starved for weeks, in which they lost a lot of weight. They were later rescued by the Hobbitry-in-Arms led by Thain Paladin Took during the Battle of the Shire with the aid of Grey Company and victory was won.

## Biography

In TA 3001, Gathaz served in the front, but was called away by the Dark Lord Sauron to join a battalion of Orcs that were heading towards Isengard and assist Saruman, who had recently betrayed the White Council and imprisoned Gandalf in the tower of Orthanc for his refusal in joining the enemy. Under the command of Saruman, Gathaz and every orc in Isengard were given orders to cut down all the trees and use them to construct weapons, shields, and armor for the Uruk-hai that were created by Saruman. Gathaz hated this job, but he continued to follow orders to his superiors.

Later on during the War of the Ring, Gathaz was among a group of orcs that accompanied Grishnákh to find the Uruk-hai that were tasked by their master to hunt down the Fellowship of the Ring and bring all the hobbits to be delivered to Isengard. However, since there was no word, Gathaz followed Grishnákh across the plains of Rohan where they successfully found the party of Uruk-hai that are now led by Uglúk, who took in command after his friend Lurtz was slain by Aragorn during the skirmish in Amon Hen. However, when one of the Uruks sniffed through the air and informed they were tracked, Gathaz panicked and followed the Uruk-hai towards the edge of Fangorn Forest, homeland of the Ents and Huorns. When the Orcs and Uruk-hai got into an argument on eating Merry and Pippin, Gathaz was suddenly struck down by a Rohirrim soldier.

**Flizpot** was an ugly and clumsy Orc who served in the rank of captain of Saruman's lumberjack camp in Fangorn Forest, and chief of his Treecutters.

## Biography

Born and raised in the dark realm of Mordor, Flizpot enjoyed cutting down trees and served under the will of Sauron, who had recently returned and rebuilt the dark tower of Barad-dûr. In TA 3001, Flizpot was chosen by the dark lord to travel to Isengard and help Saruman to build an army to be worthy of Mordor. Upon arriving, Flizpot was given orders by his new master to build a Lumberjack camp near the forest of Fangorn and cut down as many trees around the ring of Isengard. During his job, Flizpot discovered that fuel was running low and that there were not enough trees, weapons, or armor to be given to the Uruk-hai. When Saruman suggested caution and decided that the forest of Fangorn would be the key to succeed, Flizpot complied to his master's command and led as many orcs to chop down many trees as possible.

With as many trees chopped and burned, Flizpot was rewarded once Saruman had built an army of 10,000 Uruk-hai to march to Helm's Deep and wipe out the Rohirrim that have taken refuge in the old fortress. He remained in Isengard until he received word that an army of Ents and Huorns were entering the ring of Isengard. Flizpot panicked and believed that cutting down the trees must've angered the inhabitants. While trying to flee desperately for his life, he was crushed to death by the foot of an Ent during the battle.

**Horvak** was a Goblin-Captain who lived in Moria

## Biography

Born in the late-Third Age, Horvak lived in the Misty Mountains all his life until he was summoned to meet with a group of Goblin Chieftains. Believing the plan was too risky, he went along with the plan, and was in charge in leading battalions of Goblins in reclaiming the ancient dwarf city of Moria. Still aware of the Balrog's existence, Horvak dread carefully when he led his troops into the eastern gate of Moria and engaged the Dwarves of Moria. Throughout the battle, Horvak and his kin sweeped into the abandoned mines and tunnels, and raided remote Dwarven outposts. With Moria reclaimed, Horvak and his kin celebrated their victory while his rival took Drisnak over, and every Goblin in the dwarven realm were known as "Moria Goblins".

During the War of the Ring in TA 3001, Horvak was fast asleep when he heard a loud banging noise. The noise came from Chamber of Mazarbul when Peregrin Took accidentally touched the corpse of a dead dwarf and the banging cause a loud echo throughout the mines. Horvak was now aware that there were intruders in the mines and summoned battalion of Goblins to investigate at the sound of the drums. He led his forces throughout the underground city to pursue the Fellowship of the Ring, but their efforts failed when they heard the roar of the Balrog. Horvak and his band were frightened, and they immediately retreated away.

After the Balrog was defeated by Gandalf the Grey, who gave his life to give the others a chance to escape, Horvak rallied a large number of Goblin warriors, and led led his tribe to seek their revenge on the Fellowship for the fall of their Chief. Horvak´s Host followed the Fellowship to Lórien where his troops were defeated by the Guardians of the forest. A small number of Survivors continued to follow the Fellowship's track to Rohan and eventually joined forces with the Orcs of the Eye under the command of Grishnákh. The last remnants of Horvak's expedition were slain by the Eoréd of Éomer Éadig near the borders of Fangorn Forest.

**Felagrog**, also known as **Dúrin's Bane** or the **Balrog of Moria**, was a mighty Balrog who served Morgoth since the War of Wrath that ended the First Age, and only the Elves and the Wise (including the Istari) knew of them beyond the oldest tales and dimmest rumors. The Dwarves that reentered Moria near the end of the Third Age had dug deep, and uncovered Felagrog from its self-induced coma in hiding in the roots of old kingdom. Aroused and rested, Felagrog once again felt his power and pride; perhaps, too, he felt the Power of its Lord's lieutenant, Sauron of Mordor, reaching into the world. He killed two of the Dwarf-kings and gathered to itself a mighty army of Orcs and Trolls from the surrounding area by the force of its will alone. With these troops, he drove the surviving Dwarves from Moria and established itself as the ruler.

Centuries later throughout the Third Age, Felagrog was encountered by the Fellowship of the Ring in TA 3001 when they passed through Moria. As the Fellowship fled across the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, Gandalf stopped to hold off the demon. The wizard's magic was enough to destroy the bridge and topple the Balrog into the chasm below, but the demon's fiery whip ensnared Gandalf, bringing the wizard with him. After chasing the Balrog through miles of tunnels to Dúrin's, Gandalf smote Felagrog and ended its foul existence. The wizard also died from his wounds, but was soon revived as Gandalf the White.

**Born of Hope** is a short prequel film directed by Kate Madison and written by Paula DiSante.

## Plot

Set in the late Third Age, Sauron's power is increasing. His orcs are constantly seeking out the remnants of the bloodline of Elendil, kept alive in the Dúnedain. Dírhael, his wife Ivorwen and their daughter Gilraen are fleeing from an attack on their village when they are ambushed by orcs on a forest road, and saved by a group of rangers led by Arathorn. Not having any place safer to go, the refugees are taken by Arathorn to Taurdal, the village led by his father and Chieftain of the Dúnedain, Arador. While there, Arathorn and Arador ponder over the orcs' motives after finding various pieces of jewelry on their bodies. During her stay in Taurdal, Gilraen falls in love with Arathorn.

In light of the attacks on surrounding settlements, Arador leads his forces on a campaign against the orcs in the area in an attempt to restore peace to the region. Meanwhile, he sends Arathorn separately in an attempt to determine the meaning behind the attacks. Both are successful, and Arathorn discovers the orcs are serving Sauron, who seeks the Ring of Barahir. Arathorn and Gilraen receive Arador's blessing to be wed, but Arathorn cannot summon the courage to ask Dírhael for his daughter's hand. Arador is summoned to Rivendell to seek Elrond's council, and the wedding is postponed until his return. Arathorn eventually confronts Dírhael, and the two are married.

A year later, Arador is killed by a hill troll in the Coldfells, making Arathorn the chieftain of the Dúnedain. Gilraen becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son, Aragorn. Two years later, Taurdal knows peace for a while, until Elladan and Elrohir come with news from Rivendell. Elrond has sensed that danger is once again threatening the region, and they request that Gilraen and Aragorn be brought back to Rivendell for safekeeping, as is the tradition with all Dúnedain heirs to the chiefdom. Before Arathorn and Gilraen can come to a decision, orcs attack the village. They are beaten off, and Arathorn leads the Rangers in pursuit of the stragglers. They are successful, but Arathorn is mortally wounded in the process. Without a chieftain capable of leading them, the Dúnedain disband Taurdal and go to hide in secret in the forests of Rhudaur, while Aragorn is brought to Rivendell.

The **Battle of Bree** was a conflict that took place in the marketing town of Bree during the War of the Ring.

## History

As the War of the Ring began, Sauron refused to allow any free-folk to unite in one single banner since he was still aware of the heir of Isildur Elendilion. He tasked his servant Saruman to launch an attack on Eriador. Halbarad Dúnadan was aware of this and led about 205 Northern Rangers to warn on what was coming. Many of the settlers of men and women, including the hobbits that settled also, were not well-armed or strong enough for battle but they all had to fight. Just as the Ruffians had broken the West-gate of Bree, the battle started and every Breelander and Ranger engaged the oncoming enemy. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the Rangers and Breelanders kept on fighting and did as much to push the enemy back.

"*What orders from Mordor, my lord? What does the Eye command?*"
—Gazmog to Saruman
**Gazmog** was an Orcish messenger who traveled to Isengard and pledged his service to Saruman during the War of the Ring.

## Biography

"*The trees are strong, my lord. Their roots go deep.*"
—Gazmog informing Saruman about the trees
Born in the dark land of Mordor, Gazmog was sent by the Dark Lord Sauron to travel to Isengard and assist Saruman, who betrayed the White Council and had his old friend Gandalf locked up in Orthanc for declining his offer to join the enemy. While entering the tower with Zabúrz, Lughúr, and Frûshkul, Gazmog, awaited orders from Saruman and led a number of troops to rip off the trees all around Isengard. The procedure was proven to be difficult, in which Gazmog informed to Saruman that the trees were very strong since their roots dig deeper in the soil. Saruman ignored this and ordered him to continue ripping down the trees in order to build armor, swords, and shields for the Uruk-hai.

Throughout the War of the Ring, Gazmog and a group of orcs built a lumberjack camp near the edge of Fangorn Forest. They were given orders by Flizpot to cut down as many trees from the forest in order to have enough armor and hanksars to be constructed. Gazmog complied to the order and ordered his fellow orc lumberjacks to cut down the trees. Near the end of the battle of Helm's Deep, Gazmog returned to Isengard and worked at the pits where he commanded all the Orc miners to continue working in the mines until an army of Ents and Huorns, led by Treebeard, Merry, and Pippin, arrive to turn the tide and destroy everything. Gazmog panicked and remained in the mines with all the other Orc miners that were afraid to fight against the Ents and Huorns. When Treebeard ordered half of the Ents to break the dam, the whole river Isen came down from the cliffs, and Gazmog and the miners were all killed in the flooding.

## Behind the scenes

* Gazmog was portrayed by Lee Hartley in *The Fellowship of the Ring*, credited as one of the twelve (fourteen in the Extended Edition) credited "Hero Orcs, Goblins, Uruks & Ringwraiths".

## Biography

Raised in Isengard, Daskila was one of the Uruk-hai that were in service to Saruman, a wizard who had recently betrayed the White Council and pledged his service to the Dark Lord Sauron. Throughout the War of the Ring, Daskila carried a Hanksar as his main weapon. He was later rallied with more than 10,000 Uruk-hai in front of the tower of Orthanc where they cheered for their master Saruman to await further instructions. Tasked to wipe out the people of Rohan, Daskila marched with his brothers towards Helm's Deep. Hours of marching, Daskila and his kin arrived to the valley and saw that it was heavily fortified by the Rohirrim and Elves. Daskila growled and waited anxiously to attack his enemies, but his efforts to do so was cut short when an elderly Rohirrim soldier named Aldor II, a descendant of King Aldor, shot him by accident. Daskila was first out of ten-thousand Uruk-hai to fall, and his death sparked the beginning of the battle.
