Meriadoc Brandybuck

Description

Meriadoc Brandybuck, usually called "Merry", is the son of Saradoc Brandybuck and Esmeralda Took. He was born in Buckland in T.A. 2982. Merry is best friend of Peregrin Took, better known as "Pippin". Already in the Shire the two were notorious rascals, though never bad or wicked but rather curious and unthinking. Though he is also very considerate and protective of his friends, which is the reason he ended up in the epic events being unfolded. — tolkiengateway

Son of Saradoc Brandybuck, called 'The Magnificent', Merry travelled with the Company of the Ring, accompanied Frodo on the Quest of Mount Doom. Captured with his friend Peregrin Took by Yrch, 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 the 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. — lorebook
