The Lord of the Rings Online Character Profile

[GameBanshee News]

Turbine's official The Lord of the Rings Online website has been updated with a new character profile, this time featuring the Sackville-Baggins Family.

Otho Sackville-Baggins is the first cousin of the famous burglar Bilbo Baggins. He and his wife Lobelia were never on good terms with Bilbo, always bitter that Bag End, the beautiful hole of the Baggins family upon the Hill in Hobbiton, had not come to them. When Bilbo was presumed dead after leaving on the Quest of Erebor with Thorin Oakenshield and Company, Otho and Lobelia moved into Bag End and started auctioning off Bilbo’s belongings; unfortunately for them, Bilbo returned just in time to stop them.

Bilbo foiled the Sackville-Bagginses once again when he adopted Frodo, his young cousin who had been living with his Brandybuck relatives at Brandy Hall. It appeared that the Sackville-Bagginses would never again see the inside of Bag End, for the hole would go to Frodo when Bilbo left. Their luck changed, however, when Frodo made the strange decision to move away from Hobbiton to Crickhollow in Buckland, there to live with his friends Merry Brandybuck, Pippin Took, and Fatty Bolger. Otho had died by that time, but Lobelia and their son, Lotho, took ownership of Bag End.
