A jovial, but eccentric Hobbit of the Shire, Bilbo is the much loved uncle of Frodo Baggins. Bilbo enjoyed a long and prosperous life after his earlier adventures with the wizard Gandalf and the Dwarves, in part due to preserving qualitites of the mysterious, magic Ring he had found in his travels. After a time Gandalf becomes suspicious of the true nature of Bilbo's Ring, and becomes concerned by the old Hobbit's infatuation with the trinket.
