Frodo Baggins

Frodo Baggins - Hobbit of the Shire and Ringbearer.

"Frodo was born in 2968 of the Third Age, the son of Drogo Baggins and Primula Brandybuck. Orphaned in child-hood (his parents were killed in a boating accident) he was adopted by his cousin, Bilbo Baggins of Bag End, and made his heir.

Frodo was extremely adventurous for a Hobbit and remarkably learned, being something of a song-writer and a scholar of Elvish lore and language.

In 3001, when Bilbo mysteriously left the Shire, Frodo inherited Bag End and the One Ring.

In 3018, Gandalf the Wizard reappeared, sharing with Frodo what he had learned about the Ring's history. On Gandalf's advice, Frodo departed the Shire with the Ring. He was accompanied by Sam, Pippin, and soon, Merry. The four were joined by Strider in Bree. Frodo was wounded by a Morgul blade at Weathertop, and barely made it to Rivendell alive. There, he was healed by Elrond, and the Fellowship of the Ring was formed.

Frodo just survived the many adventures and perils of the journey. In Moria, he was again saved from death thanks to the mithril shirt given him by Bilbo.

At Amon Hen, Frodo was confronted by Boromir, who attempted to take the Ring from him. Frodo fled, and the Fellowship was broken. He was joined by Sam, and the two of them set out for Mordor. They were soon joined by Gollum, who led them to Cirith Ungol, and to the lair of Shelob.

Frodo succeeded in delivering the One Ring to the fires of Mount Doom, but Gollum recovered it by biting off the finger that wore the ring. In his dance of joy, he lost his footing, and both he and the Ring fell into the Fire ... thus bringing about the end of the War of the Ring and Sauron.

After the war, he returned to Bag End with Sam, Merry, and Pippin, and won back their homeland from Saruman. The poison wounds and the mental trauma he experienced during the Quest began to tell, and Frodo was never quite the same.

In 3021, Frodo embarked on the Last Riding of the Keepers of the Rings, boarded an Elven ship, and sailed to the Undying Lands.

Elijah Wood plays Frodo in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings.
