Tom Bombadil

A myterious person who lives in the Old Forest with his wife Goldberry the river daughter. His whimsical rhymes have power in them and can control the trees. Few travellers pass by his house, but he is hospitable to them,and they lose the sense of time while there. Although he has power over his region, he has no interest for life outside it. The One Ring has no power over him.

He informs Frodo Baggins about the Silver Orb.
