Frodo Baggins
Hobbit of the Shire and Ring-bearer. Frodo was born in 2968
of the Third Age, the son of Drogo Baggins and Primula
Brandybuck. Orphaned in childhood, he was adopted by his
cousin, Bilbo Baggins of Bag End. Frodo was extremely
adventurous for a Hobbit, and remarkably learned, being a
song-writer and something of 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 and set Frodo on the Quest of the Ring
to Rivendell where the Fellowship of the Ring was formed.
Frodo just survived the many adventures and perils of the
journey, but succeeded in delivering the One Ring to the fires
of Mount Doom. Thus, Frodo brought about the end of the
War of the Ring. After the war, he returned to Bag End, but
the poison wounds and the mental trauma he experienced
during the Quest began to tell. In 3021, Frodo embarked on
the Last Riding of the Keepers of the Rings, and boarded an
Elven ship and sailed to the Undying Lands.
