Frodo Baggins:
Born in the year 2968, Frodo Baggins was adopted by Bilbo Baggins
as his heir, in the year 2980. Frodo's birthday was the same as
Bilbo, September 22. In 3001, after Bilbo disappeared, Frodo took
ownership of Bag End, and of the Ring, though at that time it was
not know exactly what the Ring was, though Gandalf had some suspicions.
In the year 3018, Gandalf finally discovered that the ring was
the One Ring, and on September 23 of that year, Frodo left the
Shire secretly with Sam, Merry and Pippin. After an adventure in
the Old Forest, they met Tom Bombadil who helped them later escape
the Barrow-wights. There they each received an old knife from the
mound so that the spell on the mound would be broken. They met
Strider in Bree, and he led them to Weathertop, where they were
all ambushed by the Nazgûl. There Frodo was wounded by a
Morgul-knife. Seventeen days later they made it to Rivendell, after
another near escape from the Black Riders at the ford of Bruinien.
At the Fords of Bruinien Two months later, with the addition of
Gandalf, Boromir, Legolas and Gimli to the Company, they left to
destroy the Ring in the Cracks of Doom in Mordor. This adventure
is retold in the Lord of the Rings, as the selections from the
Red Book of Westmarch dealing with this are now known.

Frodo left the Company at the Falls of Rauros,
with just Sam and after several more adventures, including being
captured by the orcs of Cirith Ungol, eventually made it to Mount
Doom. There he attempted to claim the Ring for his own. However
Gollum bit off the Ring along with Frodo's finger, and overbalanced,
falling into the Cracks of Doom, with the Ring. Frodo was healed
of all this by Aragorn, soon to be crowned King of Gondor. After
the Midsummer, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin and Gandalf, made their
way back to Rivendell with Elrond and the others of his house.
From there the hobbits made there way to Bree and back to the Shire,
where they found Saruman in residence. After clearing the Shire
of the ruffians that Saruman had brought in (chiefly a job of Merry
and Pippin), Frodo went back to normal life as much as possible.
Two years later though, he sailed into the West with Bilbo and
the Keepers of the Three Rings. It is not known what year he died
in, save that it was some time in the Fourth Age.

Faramir:
The younger son of Denthor, Faramir was born five years after
his brother Boromir, in the year 2983 of the Third Age. Unlike
his brother, Faramir was a gentle man who preferred music to fighting.
He was a brave captain though, in battle and all his men loved
him.
After the death of Boromir, Faramir became Denethor's heir, and
the captain of the White Tower. After being wounded by a Southron
dart, and being affected by the Black Breath of the Nazgûl,
Faramir was nearly burned alive by his father, when Denethor chose
to burn himself. He was saved by Beregond, and by Gandalf. Faramir
was healed by Aragorn, after the Battle of the Pelennor fields.
Faramir was technically the last of the Ruling Stewards, though
he only prepared the City for the coming of the King. After the
Crowning of Aragorn, Faramir was given Ithilien and made a prince.
He remained the Steward after the crowning of Aragorn.

Fëanor:
The first son of Finwë, and the greatest craftsman of the
Noldor, Fëanor created the Silmarils and probably the Palantíri.
He married Nerdanel and had a total of seven sons, Celegorm, Curufin,
Maglor, Maedhros, Amrod, Amras and Caranthir. When Morgoth stole the Silmarils,
Fëanor
and his sons swore vengeance and to recover the Silmarils. Fëanor
died in Middle-Earth. Though he realized at his death that they
would not be able to recover the Silmarils, he pressed his sons
to continue the fight anyway. Fëanor is the name by which
most know of him, but at his birth he was called Curufinwë.

Finrod Felagund:
The King in Narogthrond, Finrod had sworn himself to help any
of the line of Barahir, Beren's father. When Beren reached Narogthrond,
in search of aid, Finrod and ten others aided him as far as what
was once the Tower of Guard, Minas Tirith, but had been taken by
Sauron. There they were captured, and one at a time eaten by Werewolves.
There Finrod died, in his own watchtower. Lúthien freed
Beren, and destroyed the tower. There on the island they buried

Fangorn:
The eldest of the Ents and one of only three remaining from the
First Age: Only three remain of the first Ents
that walked in the woods before the Darkness: only myself, Fangorn,
and Finglas and Fladrif- to give them their Elvish names; you may
call them Leaflock and Skinbark if you like that better. (LOTR.496)
Fangorn rescued Merry and Pippin when they escaped the orcs that
had carried them across Rohan. Later their news caused Fangorn
to call an Entmoot at which it was decided to march on Isengard.
Fangorn also directed many of the Huorns to raise the siege on
Helms Deep.
In the First Age, it is believed that Fangorn walked the forests
of Beleriand.

Fingolfin:
Fingolfin was the first of the two children born to Finwë's second
wife, Indis. He and his younger brother Finarfin were half-brothers to
Fëanor. He led those of the Noldor who had been deserted by Fëanor
over the Helcaraxë. Once in Beleriand, Fingolfin established his people
in the region of Hithlum and prepared for a long war. After the death of
Feanor, Fingolfin was named the High King of the Noldor.
During the Dagor Bragollach, Fingolfin challenged Morgoth to single
combat as told in the Silmarillion:
Therefore Morgoth came, climbing slowly from his subterranean
throne, and the rumor of his feet was like thunder underground. And he
issued forth clad in black armour; and he stood before the King like a
tower, iron-crowned, and his vast shield, sable unblazoned, cast a shadow
over him like a stormcloud. But Fingolfin gleamed beneath it as a star;
for his mail was overlaid with silver, and his blue shield was set with
crystals; and he drew his sword Ringil, that glittered like ice.
Then Morgoth hurled aloft Grond, the Hammer of the Underworld, and swung
it down like a bolt of thunder. But Fingolfin sprang aside, and Grond rent
a mighty pit in the earth whence smoke and fire darted. Many times Morgoth
essayed to smite him, and each time Fingolfin leaped away, as a lighting
shoots from under a dark cloud; and he wounded Morgoth with seven wounds,
and seven times Morgoth gave a cry of anguish, whereat the hosts of Angband
fell upon their faces in dismay, and the cries echoed in the Northlands.
But at last the King grew weary, and Morgoth bore down his shield upon
him. Thrice he was crushed to his knees, and thrice arose again and bore
up his broken shield and stricken helm. But the earth was all rent and
pitted about him, and he stumbled and fell backward before the feet of
Morgoth; and Morgoth set his left foot upon his neck, and the weight of
it was like a fallen hill. Yet with his last and desperate stroke Fingolfin
hewed the foot with Ringil, and the blood gushed forth black and smoking
and filled the pits of Grond.
Thus died Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, most proud and valiant of
the Elven-Kings of old. The Orcs made no boast of that duel at the gate;
neither do the Elves sing of it, for their sorrow is too deep. (S.
184-185)

Finarfin:
One of the princes of the Noldorin Elves, Finarfin was the third son of
Finwë. His mother was Indis. He has been called by many, the fairest
and wisest of the sons of Finwë. Though he initially followed his
brother, Fëanor on his march into Middle-Earth, Finarfin turned back,
leading many of the Noldor with him. On his return to Valinor, he became
the High King of the Noldor. He led his people in the Great Battle where
Morgoth was overthrown.
Galadriel and Finrod Felagund were the two best known of Finarfin's five
children.
