There were nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring in The Lord of the Rings, and though each was key to the group’s success, not all their roles were equal. The purpose of the Fellowship of the Ring was to secretly take Sauron’s One Ring to Mordor, where it could be destroyed. This was a plan that the Dark Lord would never have suspected since he anticipated that the beings of Middle-earth would attempt to use the One Ring against him. Ultimately, the Fellowship’s mission was successful, and each member contributed to this in The Lord of the Ring.
