Not given to subtlety, he wears his passions plainly for all to see. Yet for all his impulsiveness, Gimli is none the less loyal and noble in spirit.

Ancient beyond reckoning, Treebeard the Ent is one of the last of his dwindling kind, the long forgotten tree shepherds of Fangorn Forest who once strode throughout the woods of Middle-earth.

Treebeard leads the March of the Ents and succeeds in flooding and destroying Isengard’s war machine.

Andy Serkis as Gollum (aka Smeagol)
Culture: stoor
Tortured and wrought wretched by the lure of the One Ring, Gollum is a withered, piteous creature.

When the Fellowship is broken, Gollum tries to steal the Ring from Frodo and Sam in The Two Towers, but ends up being their unlikely guide into Mordor. He is leading them into a trap so he can reclaim the One Ring for himself.

Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins
Culture: hobbit
Frodo is a most unlikely hero. A Hobbit, small and quiet, but possessing a true and noble spirit, Frodo becomes the bearer of the One Ring when it is left to him by his famous Uncle Bilbo. The task therefore falls to him to do what no one else can, and destroy the ring by casting it into the fires of Mount Doom. The burden of this charge will lie heavy on Frodo, pulling at him constantly as he trods the perilous path to Mordor from whence the One Ring came.

? as Sauron
Culture: supernatural
Disembodied when the One Ring was cut from his hand at the Battle of the Last Alliance in the Second Age, the Dark Lord Sauron became a shadowy echo of his former self. Formless and terrifying, he returned to his rebuilt tower of Barad-dûr, and from there began to muster his strength to begin the long search for the only thing that might restore his form and power, the lost One Ring. Now no more than a terrible will, Sauron appeared as a great Eye, lidless and slitted, wreathed in flame. Against his piercing gaze none could stand.

? as Witch King
Culture: supernatural
Lord of the Nazgûl, the nine terrifying Ringwraiths, the Witch King of Angmar was the chief lieutenant of Sauron the Dark Lord. Once a great king of old, the Witch King, like all the Nazgûl, was enslaved to the will of Sauron by his magical Ring of Power. In the physical realm the Witch King was little more than a spirit wrapped in black cloth, a fearful presence, but when seen by Frodo in the spirit world, the specter's true guise was revealed, a twisted and malicious fiend, still bearing the tall crown of his office.
