Bilbo Baggins
Hobbit of the Shire. Born in the year 2890 of the Third Age,
Bilbo was a bachelor Hobbit who lived in Bag End in the
Shire. In 2941, Bilbo was lured away by a Wizard and
thirteen Dwarves on the famous quest of Thorin and
Company that, in 2941, led to the slaying of Smaug the
Dragon and the re-establishment of the Dwarf Kingdom
under the Mountain at Erebor. With a modest portion of the
Dragon gold he won on his adventure, Bilbo returned to the
Shire for some sixty years. On his adventure, Bilbo acquired a
mysterious ring, which had the power to make its wearer
invisible. However, it was later discovered that this was, in
fact, the One Ring that belonged to the Lord of the Rings. In
the year 3001, Bilbo held a huge birthday party, then
vanished before the very eyes of the assembled host, leaving
wealth, home and the One Ring to his young cousin and
adopted heir, Frodo Baggins. Bilbo then went on to live a
rather monkish life in Rivendell and for twenty years wrote
poems, stones
