Description

Frodo Baggins is the Hobbit that was chosen for the delicate task to destroy the One Ring before it would be found by Sauron, or rather than it would find its way to him by itself. A new hobbit or man character will meet Frodo already in the first instance, very briefly, when he was on his way to Crickhollow. After that date all characters follow hard on his heels while he travels eastwards with his company, always a few days too late, and eventually meet him in Elrond's house in Rivendell. There he stays a few months, over the Council, and preparing for the departure which eventually happens on December 25 III 3018 (Shire Calendar).

Lore

Heir of Bilbo Baggins, and hero of the Company of the Ring. Renowned for bearing the One Ring to the land of Mordor, and bringing it to the Cracks of Doom.
Bilbo's cousin Frodo shares kinship with the Bagginses and Brandybucks, both influential families with long histories in the Shire. His parents died when he was just twelve years old, after which he lived with his Brandybuck relations at sprawling Brandy Hall in Buckland. Taller and fairer-skinned than most Hobbits, Frodo was prone to getting into trouble as a youngster (particularly by stealing mushrooms from the ornery Farmer Maggot), but most folk regarded him as a fine, if somewhat mischievous, young hobbit. He gained an interest in the languages, histories and tales of the Elves, presumably from conversations with Bilbo. Bilbo adopted him as his heir when Frodo was twenty-one, he moved to Bag End to live there.
In more recent years, particularly after Bilbo's strange disappearance during his eleventy-first birthday party, Frodo has seemed much less light of spirit, carrying a heavy burden of responsibility and keeping mostly to himself in Bag End, though few in the Shire dare guess what might be weighing so heavily upon him. His recent departure to live at Crickhollow, nearer to his Brandybuck kin, has been met with nearly as much speculation as Bilbo's departure 17 years ago. — lorebook
