Frodo Baggins
An ancient evil. She embodies insatiable hunger and greed, but she has no interest in the Ring.

Aragorn
A powerful spirit of evil who now takes the form of a disembodied flaming eye; represents the worst aspects of power — especially greed, cruelty, and the desire for domination.
Sauron
An earlier Ringbearer. He was living on an island in an underground lake when he lost the Ring.
Gollum
A wizard best known among hobbits for his fireworks and mischievous sense of humor, but actually one of the greatest powers of Middle-earth.

Son of Thranduil, king of the Mirkwood elves. He is a great archer with keen eyesight. A member of the Fellowship.
Legolas
Once great kings now enslaved to the One Ring.
The Nazgul
The only person to have voluntarily given up the Ring.
Bilbo Baggins
Sent to Rivendell to decipher a prophetic dream, he joins the Fellowship. He believes that the Ring should be used as a weapon against the Enemy and that trying to destroy it is foolish.
