Conner Bard |
 |
A descendant of Girion the Lord of Dale, Bard slew the dragon Smaug and refounded Dale under the Lonely Mountain. |
| Dirk
Connley Durin |
The
eldest of the Seven Fathers
of the Dwarves, the first of that race to be created by the Vala
Aulë. He was set
to sleep under the mountains of Middle-earth
until after the awakening of the Elves.
When he woke, he journeyed in the wilds until he came upon the Mirrormere, the lake that the Dwarves call Kheled-zâram. Looking upon mysterious stars reflected in its surface, he took this as a sign, and there founded a great city tunnelled in the heart of the Misty Mountains. This was Khazad-dûm, later called Moria. Durin lived to a great age even by the measure of the Dwarves, but though he was called the Deathless, he was not immortal. He died some time before the end of the First Age, but he founded the line of the Kings of Durin's Folk that extended down through the history of Middle-earth. |

Frank
Green |
 |
Head of the Baggins family, he dwelt
alone at Bag End,
Hobbiton,
until Gandalf
involved him in the Quest
of Erebor in 2941
(Third Age), and so drew the Hobbits into the great affairs of the end
of the Third Age. During his journey to the Lonely
Mountain, Bilbo came upon the One
Ring in an orc-hold
of the Misty
Mountains.
Bilbo's records of his travels, and those of his heir Frodo, were compiled into the Red Book of Westmarch, and became the basis of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. |
| Gene
Gryniewicz Gandalf |
 |
In
origin a Maia of Manwë and Varda, Gandalf came to the northwest of
Middle-earth after a thousand years of the Third Age had passed, with
four others of his order. At the Grey
Havens, Círdan entrusted him with
the Red Ring, Narya,
to aid him in contesting the will of Sauron.
Gandalf wandered widely in Middle-earth, and learned much of its races and peoples. Unlike his fellow Wizards Saruman and Radagast, he never settled in a single place. He was instrumental in the victory of the War of the Ring, but during that conflict he battled with a Balrog, and though he was ultimately victorious, his spirit left his body, but was sent back to Middle-earth to complete his task. Gandalf finally left Middle-earth in 3021 (Third Age), when he departed over the sea with the Ring-bearers. |

Captured with his friend Peregrin Took by Orcs, they were separated from the rest of the Company of the Ring, but eventually escaped to become the first mortals for many centuries to encounter the Ents of Fangorn Forest. Merry was present at the destruction of Isengard, and rode to the Battle of the Pelennor with the Rohirrim. There, his deeds won great renown, for with Éowyn of Rohan he defeated and slew the Lord of the Nazgûl. |

| Terry
Miller Eomer |
 |
The son of Éomund
of Eastfold and Théodwyn,
the sister of King
Théoden.
While still a young man of just twenty-six, Éomer the King's
nephew was made Third
Marshal of Riddermark, and took command of the Riders
of Eastfold.
The days of his youth were harsh ones for Rohan;
its people were imperilled by Orcs
out of the north, while a certain Gríma
son of Gálmód, later found to be a spy of Saruman,
gained influence over the King.
On 25 February III 3019, Rohan suffered its greatest blow to date; at a skirmish that would become known as the First Battle of the Fords of Isen, Théoden's son and heir Théodred was slain by Saruman's forces, leaving Éomer - who was not at the battle - as the natural heir to Rohan's throne. It was five days later that the tide began to turn in Rohan's favour, when Éomer came across three strangers travelling through the fields of the Mark. These strangers were Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, and from Éomer's wise decision to aid these three came Rohan's ultimate victory. Because of this, some days later, Gandalf came to Edoras and healed the King of his malaise. The Rohirrim went to war, and though they were defeated at the Second Battle of the Fords of Isen, they held their own at the Battle of the Hornburg and, with the aid of the Ents of Fangorn Forest, defeated Saruman's armies. Then Éomer rode with his King to the aid of Minas Tirith, where they fought in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. There Théoden met his end, and granted Éomer the Kingship, first of the Third Line of the Kings of Rohan. At the time of the great victories of that year, Éomer was still just twenty-eight years old. He would rule the Rohirrim for another sixty-five years, through which he maintained a great friendship with Gondor. Such was the plenty and peace of his reign that he was given the surname Éadig, 'Blessed'. He was succeeded by his son Elfwine. |

Placzek Faramir |
 |
Younger son of Steward Denethor II of Gondor, and brother to Boromir of the Company of the Ring. He fought in the Battle of the Pelennor, and was rewarded after the installation of Aragorn II Elessar with the princedom of Ithilien. |
| Gary Preston | ||
| Mike Rice | ||
| Mark Rutkowski |  |
Son of Glóin, he travelled from Rivendell with the Company of the Ring. After the breaking of the Fellowship at Parth Galen, he hunted Orcs across Rohan with Aragorn and Legolas. He fought at the Battle of the Hornburg, and at the Pelennor Fields. He is famed for his fast friendship with Legolas the Elf; some stories say that they sailed into the West together - if this is true, then Gimli was the first and only of dwarven-kind to come to the Undying Lands. |

| Tim
Waldmann Denethor |
 |
Born during the Stewardship
of his grandfather Turgon, Denethor was a Gondorian
noble who would see some of the most turbulent times in his country's
long history, culminating in the War
of the Ring itself. While still a youth of twenty-one, he saw Sauron
re-emerge as the Dark
Lord of Mordor,
and start building his power on Gondor's
eastern borders. Just a few short years later, Mount
Doom burst into fire once again. In Gondor's
time of need, a new hero arose, and for a time Steward
Ecthelion II
(who had recently succeeded his father Turgon) was served by the
mysterious captain Thorongil
(who was long afterwards discovered to be none other than Aragorn
of the Northern
Dúnedain).
Nearly twenty years passed, and beneath the looming threat of Mordor, Denethor wedded Finduilas, the daughter of Adrahil of Dol Amroth. Together they had two sons, Boromir and Faramir. Soon after, Denethor's father Ecthelion died, and Denethor succeeded to become Steward Denethor II. Just four years after Denethor succeeded to the Stewardship, Finduilas died at a young age for one of her line. For the next thirty years, Denethor ruled as a grim and serious Steward, and it later became known that for at least some of this time, he had made use of a palantír to gain knowledge, through which the malice of Sauron had begun to sap his will. In the end, the death of his elder son Boromir, and the imagined loss of his younger son Faramir, sent him mad. He burned himself to death with his palantír in his hands. Denethor II ruled as Steward for thirty-five years, and was succeeded by his younger son Faramir. |
