This page is for the book ONLY. For the characters as they were portrayed in the Peter Jackson film trilogy, see here.

For the characters that are portrayed in Amazon's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, see here. They are set in a different continuity from the films.

See also the character sheets for The Silmarillion and The Hobbit (or the latter's film versions), which are set in the same universe (and, indeed, feature some of the same characters).
