Quest Involvement
Lore
Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger was a friend of Frodo Baggins. In September of III 3018, he helped Frodo depart from Bag End and move to Crickhollow in Buckland. Despite his desire to return to the Shire, Fredegar remained in Buckland while Frodo journeyed east to Rivendell to keep up the appearance that Frodo was still at Crickhollow. On September 30, III 3018, the house at Crickhollow was attacked by three Nazgûl. Fredegar was terrified but managed to escape out of the house through the back door and make his way the house next door to raise the alarm. The Nazgûl fled when the Horn-call of Buckland was sounded.
Later, during the War of the Ring, Fatty Bolger led a band of rebels against the Chief's Men. He was captured and thrown into the Lockholes, storage rooms that were converted into prison cells at Michel Delving. On November 4, III 3019, Frodo released the prisoners who had been starved and beaten while imprisoned in the Lockholes. After his release, the starved and weakened Fredegar could no longer be called "Fatty".
Fredegar's younger sister, Estella, married Meriadoc Brandybuck sometime after he returned from the War of the Ring.
