In this game, the first person posts a statement like this: This Middle-earth character stole the Ring from Sauron. Then, they post the answer below, in a spoiler box.
The next person guesses who it was, and then they look at the spoiler box. If they guessed correctly, then they post the answer, and ask the next question, putting the answer in a spoiler box. However, if they guessed incorrectly, then they must wait for the next question, to try guessing again. Do not post if you have guessed incorrectly---only correct guesses may be posted. General forum rules apply.
I shall start us off...
This Middle-earth character dies heroically after attempting to steal the Ring from Frodo.
