Bilbo Baggins

of Bilbo Baggins Biblo's involvment in the tale of the Ring began when Gandalf the wizard showed up at his house one day, and after much hesitation, Bilbo accepted the invitation of Gandalf and Thorin's party of dwarves to travel with them to the Lonley Mountain. Once there he was either to sneak out the treasure in the dragon Smaug's lair, or to kill Smaug and retrieve the treasure. While on his quest Bilbo found himself all alone in a deep, dark underground cavern. Here he stumbled upon the Ring of Power. The creature Gollum believed that the Ring was his though, and to determine who would keep the Ring the two played a quick game of riddles. Bilbo won the game, and was able to find his way out of the cavern and soon met up with his companions. After many adventures, Bilbo along with all the dwarves finally found his way to Smaug's lair. While him and the dwarves were hiding around the mountain that Smaug lived in, the dragon assumed that they were trying to steal his treasure, when in fact they were only reclaiming what rightfully was thiers. The idea of having his precious treasure taken away from him infuriated Smaug. He believed that the people of the local town must have been the ones who sent these "thieves" up to steal his treasure, so he flew down on thier town and started attacking all the villagers and burning thier homes, while he was attacking them, the leader of the town milita shot Smaug with a single arrow in a small  part of his chest, the only part of Smaug's body not covered with armor. Meanwhile Bilbo and the Dwarves were trapped inside the mountain, after Smaug was killed the townspeople came up the mountain and freed them. After giving the townspeople some treasure to help rebuild all that Smaugh had destroyed, the dwarves evenly distrubuted the treasure amongst themselves, leaving each one with a fortune. Bilbo returned home with his share of the treasure, and lived his life much as he always had. On Bilbo's 111th birthday, during a farewell speech he was giving at his party, he slipped on the Ring and, "vanished into thin air" as the hobbits said. Bilbo left all his possesions to his heir Frodo, including Bag End, the Ring, and most all his other belongings. Bilbo journeyed to Rivendell the night of his disapperance, where he spent the rest of his days in peace and comfort. Bilbo thought of himself as quite a good author, and can be credited with writing "The Hobbit" or "There and Back Again", he also authored most of "The Red Book".
