    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit with a taste for second breakfasts and a twinkle of mischief in his eye, led a double life. In the Shire, he was a respectable hobbit, content with pipeweed and afternoon naps. But whispers followed him beyond the rolling green hills.

    He was Prince Took in the bustling taverns, a charming rogue with fantastical tales and pockets suspiciously lighter on coin. Back home, he was "Mad Baggins," a title earned for his unorthodox ways and penchant for disappearing acts that brought back souvenirs like troll teeth and elven daggers.

    Yet, his most intriguing title surfaced far from the Shire. Campfires crackled with hushed tales of the Smiling Demon – a phantom swift, silent, and deadly. This legend, shrouded in mystery, painted Bilbo as a figure of vengeance, his smile a chilling mask before swift, merciless judgment.

    The truth, however, was as elusive as smoke. Was he a monster lurking in the shadows? Or a guardian, a protector cloaked in secrecy? No one knew for sure. The Smiling Demon remained an enigma, a riddle wrapped in an unsettling grin. And perhaps, that very mystery was what made him most terrifying.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit, that much was true. There was something that did set him apart however. He did not start as a hobbit, and he did not always take the form of one. You might recognize one of his other names. He is also known as Smaug the Dreadful, Smaug the Magnificent, and occasionally Silvertongue.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins lived in peace in the Shire, since before it was called the Shire; a skin-changer who had no interest in going out into the wild when he had everything he needed already. Gandalf had other plans however: plans that required a burglar with a group of dwarrow risking their lives.
