Brigands are evil Men who serve their own greed or desire for violence above all. Also called Ruffians, Bandits or Toughs, they are a common sight in the lawless parts of Middle Earth. They spend their time thieving, waylaying travellers, making trouble, and occasionally drinking in some tavern.
They can be found in places as far apart as the Shire , the Dale-lands, Eastern Gondor, and the Cape of Umbar. The Blackwolds of Chetwood are prime examples. The Corsairs of Umbar and Variags invading Gondor are also classified as brigands.
