A jovial, but eccentric Hobbit of the Shire, Bilbo is the much loved uncle of Frodo Baggins. Bilbo enjoyed a long and prosperous life after his earlier great adventures with the wizard Gandalf and the Dwarves,in part,due to preserving qualities of the mysterious, magic Ring he had found in his travels. It so happens that the magical ring he found is no ordindinay magic ring, it is the One ring of power. He surrendered the Ring to Frodo in Fellowship and made his way to Rivendell to end his days among the Elves.

Saruman:

Once the wisest and greatest of the Istari, the Wizards of Middle-earth, Saruman fell into darkness when he delved too deep into the study of his enemy's ways, Sauron got a hold of him. The wizard's pride and love of power overcame his wisdom, and all those to whom he had been known as friend became his well known enemies. He became the chief adversary of the freedom-loving people of Rohan, and by dark means, bred a vast army of terrible Uruk-hai warriors, requested from Sauron, to conquer their lands and destroy them. His force of 10,000 Uruk-hai were defeated at Helm's Deep and his fortress of Isengard flooded by the March of the furious Ents.

Elrond:

In the Third Age of Middle-earth Elrond is an instrumental leader, rallying the diverse peoples of the lands together to fight the threat of Sauron. When his only daughter Arwen contemplates forsaking her immortality to bind herself instead to the Human Aragorn, Elrond's heart is torn between honoring the love and choice of his daughter and losing her to a mortal death. He orders the shards of Narsil to be reforged so that the rightful King of Gondor, Aragorn, can reclaim his sword.

Witch King:

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 when Sauron gave them their own rings. 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 form was revealed, a twisted, terribe and malicious fiend, still bearing the tall crown of his office.

Aragorn/Strider:

In The Return of the King, he will face several challenges that will determine the fate of all Middle-earth.

Gollum:

Tortured, mutated 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 the deadly Mordor. He is leading them into a trap so he can reclaim the One Ring for himself.

Treebeard:

Ancient beyond thought, 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.

Sauron:

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 regain his strength to begin the long search for the only thing that might restore his form and power, his 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.
