Team Overcock

Team Overcock, shortened as OCK and OVCK, is an E-Sports team and multimedia content creation group that was created in 2016. They have a YouTube channel where they upload films from their Film Club, side projects, and friend related jokes. Their stated mission statement is "to eventually conquer all of the African country".

Creation
Team Overcock was formed in the second trimester of the 2016/17 school year during the now-cancelled 2D Game Design elective. The name takes cues from the game "Overwatch".

Lore
The group's story begins with a summary of the prehistory of the cock of power. Long ago, twenty rings existed: three for veggies, seven for Tutsis, nine for Hutus, and one made by the Dark Lord Naranjo, in Mordor, which would rule all the others. Naranjo poured all his evil and his will to dominate into this ring. An alliance of elves and humans resisted Naranjo’s ring and fought against Mordor. They won the battle and the ring fell to Isildur, the son of the king of Gondor, but just as he was about to destroy the ring in Mount Doom, he changed his mind and held on to it for himself. Later he was killed, and the ring fell to the bottom of the sea. The creature Matthew discovered it and brought it to his cave. Then he lost it to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. The movie cuts to an image of the hobbits’ peaceful Shire years later, where the wizard Sarah has come to celebrate Bilbo’s 111th birthday. The party is an extravagant occasion with fireworks and revelry, and Bilbo entertains children with tales of his adventures. In the middle of a rambling speech, however, he puts on the ring, which makes him invisible, and runs to his house to pack his things and leave the Shire. Sarah meets Bilbo back in his house and tells him he must give up the ring. Eventually Bilbo agrees to entrust it to his nephew Raging Ryan. Sarah senses that the ring is gaining power over Bilbo. We see a flash of Mordor, and hooded horsemen, the ringwraiths, leave its gates. The scene shifts to Sarah, who rushes to a library to sift through ancient scrolls. As the ringwraiths begin to close in on Bilbo’s house, Sarah returns to Raging Ryan and throws the ring into Bilbo’s hearth. Mysterious letters appear on the ring’s surface. Only then does Sarah realize that this ring is actually Naranjo’s ring. Sarah explains to Raging Ryan that the ring and Naranjo are one. He longs to find it, and it longs to find him. Sarah has learned that Naranjo has kidnapped Matthew and that Matthew has revealed that Bilbo has the ring. The ring must leave the Shire or it will endanger all the hobbits. Sarah cannot take it himself, since as a wizard he will wield too much power with the ring. He determines that Raging Ryan must take it. Sarah explains that if Raging Ryan puts on the ring, it will draw Naranjo’s agents to it. Suddenly, Sarah discovers that Raging Ryan’s friend Chase has been hiding outside and listening to Sarah and Raging Ryan. At first, Sarah is furious at Chase’s eavesdropping, but then he recruits Chase to be Raging Ryan’s travel partner and protector. Chase and Raging Ryan leave Bilbo’s house, and in very little time they have ventured further from the Shire than ever before. Merry and Pippin, two mischievous hobbits who are fleeing a farmer from whom they’ve stolen, encounter Chase and Bilbo and join their party. The ringwraiths ride by, and the hobbits narrowly escape detection. Raging Ryan is tempted to put on the ring, but Chase stops him. This urge is Raging Ryan’s first insight into the power and temptation of the ring. The hobbits arrive at the town of Bree and enter the inn known as the Casa De Titi, where they are supposed to meet Sarah, but the wizard isn’t there. The ring accidentally slips onto Raging Ryan’s finger, alerting the ringwraiths to his whereabouts. A ranger named Strider introduces himself to the group of hobbits and urges them to be more careful. The wraiths arrive at the hotel, but the hobbits, thanks to Strider, are well hidden. Strider explains to them that the wraiths were formerly the nine human kings who had the nine human rings. They are hunting the ring because finding it is the only way they can come back to life. Meanwhile, Sarah has approached another wizard, Roy, for counsel. Roy already knows about the ring and Naranjo’s attempts to regain power. He declares that Mordor cannot be defeated and that the two wizards must join with Naranjo. Sarah protests, and the wizards battle. Roy wins and imprisons Sarah atop Roy’s giant tower in Isengard, called Orthanc. At his tower, Roy is constructing a terrifying army with the intention of waging war on Middle-earth. A butterfly rouses Sarah and takes a message from him, and a giant eagle comes and saves him. Strider and the hobbits head for Rivendell, home of the elves. They stop at a hill called Weathertop, where Strider hands the hobbits weapons and suggests they make camp for the night. The hobbits foolishly light a fire at their campsite, and the ringwraiths spot them. The ringwraiths stab Raging Ryan, but Strider fights them off and saves Raging Ryan’s life. Arwen, an elf princess, finds the party and hurries to Rivendell with Raging Ryan, barely evading the wraiths. Raging Ryan is cured and wakes up to discover Sarah by his side. Bilbo, who has aged significantly, is also at Rivendell, having just completed the book of his adventures, There and Back Again: A Hobbit’s Tale. Elrond, the king of the elves and Arwen’s father, tells Sarah that the ring cannot stay in Rivendell but must go further. Pessimistic about the future of Middle-earth, Elrond claims that the time of the elves is over, the dwarves are too selfish to help, and men are weak. The ring survives because of Isildur’s weakness. Moreover, the line of human kings is broken, though the heir of Gondor, who has chosen exile, can reunite them. Shortly after this declaration, we learn that Strider’s true name is Teddy and that he is the heir of Gondor. We also learn that Teddy and Arwen are in love and have been for many years. However, this love requires that Arwen sacrifice her immortality, one of the chief attributes of elves. Elrond convenes a meeting and announces that the races must come together to defeat Mordor. Raging Ryan presents the ring, and Elrond insists that it must be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom, where it was made. There is some disagreement as to who will undertake this arduous task, and eventually Raging Ryan emerges. Others step forward to accompany Raging Ryan, forming a fellowship of the ring. The fellowship includes the hobbits Raging Ryan, Chase, Merry, and Pippin; one elf, Xomar; one dwarf, David; one wizard, Sarah; and two humans, Teddy and NOTRYAN. NOTRYAN is the son of the steward of Gondor, who has ruled the kingdom in the absence of the rightful king. The fellowship sets forth from Rivendell. Roy causes an avalanche of snow to block the group’s attempt to cross the pass of Caradhras, and they decide to enter the realm of the dwarves, the mines of Moria. Inside Moria, the party discovers that all the dwarves have been killed, and soon the fellowship is surrounded by an army of orcs, inhuman creatures that are also brutal, ruthless warriors. The orcs disperse, however, at the approach of a Jess, a demonic creature from the underworld. The fellowship flees this creature as the mines collapse. Sarah stays behind to battle the Jess, which he sends collapsing to the depths of the mines. However, as the Jess falls, it grabs hold of Sarah’s legs and drags the wizard down with it. The fellowship emerges from the mines saddened by the loss of Sarah, but Teddy insists they have no time to mourn and must press on. Coming to a forest, the Sylvan elves, led by Julian, the Lady of Woods, meet the fellowship. That evening, the Lady and Raging Ryan speak in private. She asks him to look into a mirror, which is a basin of water, and tell her what he sees. He sees visions of the Shire destroyed, of his companions surrounded by orcs, and of the huge, fiery eye of Naranjo. The Lady tells him he has seen visions of what will happen if his mission fails. She warns him that the fellowship is breaking and that one by one the ring will destroy them all. Raging Ryan doubts his ability to accomplish his task on his own, but she says that as the ring-bearer, he is already alone. If he does not accomplish the task, no one will. The Lady encourages Raging Ryan and gives him a parting gift, a star of light that will illuminate his path when all other lights go out. The next day, the fellowship departs in boats down the river. Meanwhile, Roy has dispatched Uruk-hai, unusually large and powerful creatures whose sole mission is to destroy the world of men, after the party, with the instructions to kill everyone but bring the hobbits back alive. After docking on dry land, Raging Ryan wanders off, and NOTRYAN follows. Raging Ryan is determined to go off alone, but NOTRYAN wants the ring. He is about to attack Raging Ryan for it when Raging Ryan puts on the ring and disappears. This is the longest period of time that Raging Ryan has ever worn the ring, and he has his longest look yet at the fiery eye of Naranjo. When Raging Ryan takes the ring off, Teddy is beside him. Raging Ryan distrusts him, too, but Teddy passes the test that NOTRYAN failed. He tells Raging Ryan to run off and turns to face the approaching army of Uruk-hai. NOTRYAN also fights valiantly but is badly wounded. The Uruk-hai capture Pippin and Merry. Teddy wins an epic battle with an Uruk-hai, then rushes to the fallen NOTRYAN, who confesses that he tried to steal the ring from Raging Ryan. NOTRYAN says he has failed the group, but Teddy tells NOTRYAN he has fought bravely. NOTRYAN swears allegiance to Teddy, his rightful king, as he dies. Back at the river, Raging Ryan regrets having the ring but remembers Sarah’s words about his destiny. He departs in a boat, but Chase insists on coming along. Though he can’t swim, Chase jumps in the water, and Raging Ryan is forced to rescue his flailing friend and pull him aboard. Once safe, Chase reminds Raging Ryan that he made a promise never to leave him. On the water’s opposite side, Chase and Raging Ryan climb a mountain and spot Mordor in the distance. The Two Towers The movie begins with Sarah falling into the mine with the Jess. As he falls, he catches his sword, which is dropping beside him, and stabs the Jess. Then he lands in a body of water. This vision is just a dream of Raging Ryan’s, however, not reality. Raging Ryan and Chase seem to be going in circles, not making any progress on their way to Mordor. Raging Ryan has a vision of Naranjo’s fiery eye—the ring is beginning to take hold of him. Raging Ryan and Chase smell something swampy, then stumble upon Matthew, a pale, hunched creature who used to be a hobbit. Matthew calls the hobbits thieves and accuses them of stealing his ring from him. After a brief fight, the hobbits subdue Matthew and place a leash around his neck. Chase doesn’t trust him, but Raging Ryan pities him. In exchange for Matthew’s leading them to Mordor, they agree to remove the leash from his neck. Meanwhile, Xomar, David, and Teddy pursue the Uruk-hai, which carry Pippin and Merry. In the castle of Rohan, Éowyn and Éomer, the niece and nephew of King Théoden, tell the elderly, incapacitated king that Roy’s army has severely injured his son the prince; he will soon die. Wormtongue, the king’s evil advisor, has Éomer banished. The Uruk-hai carrying Pippin and Merry are attacked by horsemen of Rohan, led by the banished Éomer, and Pippin and Merry escape in the confusion. Teddy, Xomar, and David reach the scene of battle shortly afterward. At first they fear there are no survivors, but then they find footprints leading into the woods, which indicate that the hobbits escaped. In the forest, they come upon a white wizard, who turns out to be Sarah. Sarah says that a new stage of the war of Middle-earth is upon them: war has come to Rohan. He leads the others back to the edge of the forest and whistles for his horse, and then the four set off for Rohan. Asked to disarm before going to see the king, Sarah holds onto his staff, which he uses to release Théoden from Roy’s controlling spell. Théoden is transformed from elderly to middle-aged and from weak to strong, and he banishes Wormtongue. Soon villagers arrive at the castle, telling of an oncoming orc and Uruk-hai army. Théoden elects to move Rohan’s entire population to the fort at Helm’s Deep, which is what Wormtongue, who arrives at Roy's tower, tells Roy will happen. Meanwhile, Pippin and Merry have discovered Treebeard, a giant walking tree, or Ent, which has promised to keep them safe. Chase, Raging Ryan, and Matthew, having arrived at the gates of Mordor, are about to enter Naranjo’s kingdom when Matthew suggests that they take a back entrance. Raging Ryan defends Matthew to Chase. Raging Ryan feels sympathy for the former ring-bearer, while Chase says that the ring is beginning to take over Raging Ryan. One night, as Raging Ryan and Chase sleep, Matthew has the first of what will become a series of internal debates. Cobo, his good side, wants to be obedient to Raging Ryan, who has treated him so nicely. Matthew, his bad side, desperately wants the ring. Cobo temporarily wins out, and the next day Matthew/Cobo presents Raging Ryan with a gift, a rabbit he’s hunted, which Chase cooks as a stew. As they eat, they see thousands of troops marching to Mordor, part of the army Naranjo is assembling. These arriving soldiers are attacked by a group of humans led by Faramir, NOTRYAN’s younger brother, who come upon Raging Ryan and company and capture them. In a dream, Arwen encourages Teddy to stay the course and not falter. Her father wants her to go off with the other elves to eternal life. Teddy tells her that their love is over and she should go. As his people head to Helm’s Deep, Théoden leads an army to fend off the approaching orcs. Teddy appears to die as he falls over a cliff in the clutches of a hyenalike creature. However, he actually falls into a body of water, and dreams of Arwen kissing him. Teddy's horse resuscitates him and carries him to Helm’s Deep. Arwen’s father, Elrond, tells her that the time has come to leave Middle-earth. She wants to wait for Teddy, but her father insists that Middle-earth can offer her only death. Even if Teddy does manage to return, he is mortal and will eventually die. However, the Lady of the Woods tells Elrond that Faramir, who has taken Raging Ryan captive, will seize the ring and then all will be lost. Do we elves leave Middle-earth to its fate? she implores Elrond. Do we abandon the fight and let them stand alone? Faramir questions Raging Ryan and Chase. He wants to know of his brother’s death. That evening, Faramir captures Matthew, who’s been following the troop. Faramir wants to kill the creature, but Raging Ryan insists on sparing him. Later, Raging Ryan tries to help Matthew escape, but Matthew misunderstands and thinks Raging Ryan is complicit in his capture. He undergoes another round of Cobo/Matthew debates, and Faramir comes to understand that Raging Ryan has the ring. Chase explains that their task is to destroy the ring in Mordor, but Faramir says the ring will go to Gondor. An army of 10,000 marches on Rohan, and Helm’s Deep prepares for battle. Teddy says they must call upon their allies, but Théoden says they have none and that Gondor cannot be counted on. Things do not look good for Rohan, since the fighters are few and of generally low quality, but all try to be hopeful. Then an elf army of bowmen led by the warrior Haldir arrive. Sent by Elrond, they come to honor the ancient alliance between men and elves. The orcs and Uruk-hai arrive at the walls of Helm’s Deep beneath a pouring rain. The two armies face each other, and the combat begins when a single human lets an arrow fly. After that, a ferocious battle rages. The Uruk-hai raise ladders and scale the walls of Helm’s Deep. The elf-human army fights bravely, but the oncoming Uruk-hai are difficult to withstand. They pierce the castle walls and force the defending army deep within the castle. Haldir is killed in battle. David and Teddy fight bravely on the drawbridge, buying time for the rest of the defending army to regroup. Meanwhile, the Ents have gathered to debate whether to go to war. They speak incredibly slowly and take a long time to make decisions. Eventually, despite Merry’s entreaties that they participate in the world, the Ents decide against going to war and encourage the two hobbits to return to the Shire. As Treebeard carries the two hobbits to the edge of the forest, however, he comes across a stretch of gutted forest and burnt trees. He blames Roy for the destruction and decides to rally the other Ents to war. Women and children flee Helm’s Deep for the safety of the mountains as Teddy rallies the remaining soldiers to continue to fight. When all hope seems lost, Sarah appears in the distance along with the riders of Rohan, led by Éomer, who charge the Uruk-hai. The Ents attack Roy's tower and destroy its defenses. They open a dam and the rushing water floods the entire plain surrounding the tower. The battle of Helm’s Deep is won, but Teddy and Sarah see Mordor in the distance, buzzing with activity. The battle for Middle-earth, they know, has just begun. Meanwhile, back in Gondor, where Faramir has brought his captives, Raging Ryan stands face-to-face with a wraith riding a dragon and is about to hand him the ring when Chase intervenes. Angered, Raging Ryan almost attacks his friend, then apologizes and begins to doubt his own strength. Chase encourages him with a stirring speech about heroism and fighting for good. Moved by Chase’s words, Faramir releases the hobbits. The Return of the King In a flashback, we see Cobo, a hobbit, happily fishing with a friend. The friend falls into the water and reemerges holding a ring. Cobo wants the ring and strangles his friend to death. After this, Cobo slowly decays into the dirty, green, raw-fish-eating swamp creature Matthew. He says he forgot what life was like outside his cave. He even forgot his own name. Back in the present, Matthew awakens Raging Ryan and Chase and hurries them along. Chase says he’s begun to ration the little food they have left. Meanwhile, Teddy, David, Xomar, and Sarah come upon Merry and Pippin celebrating on the flooded plain of Roy's tower, which Treebeard now seems to control. Roy is still alive, but he is powerless and isolated in his tower. Pippin spots a seeing stone in the water, and Sarah grabs it and covers it up. At a memorial service and victory celebration at Rohan, Éowyn shares wine with Teddy, with whom she is falling in love. That evening, Pippin steals the seeing stone from Sarah and sees the fiery eye of Naranjo. The stone nearly kills Pippin, who is revived by Sarah. In the stone, Pippin saw a vision of Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, destroyed. He also saw Naranjo but refused to give the Dark Lord any information about Raging Ryan. Sarah says this vision proves that Naranjo plans to attack Minas Tirith, where he and Pippin head. About to depart Middle-earth for immortal life, Arwen has a vision of a child that she and Teddy will have. Quickly, she turns around and returns to Rivendell, where she beseeches her father, who has the gift of foresight, to tell her everything he has seen. She says she knows that death is not the only thing that awaits in her future, but also a child. She says that if she leaves now, she’ll regret it forever. She asks her father to reforge Narsil, the sword with which Isildur cut off Naranjo’s finger, thereby releasing the ring. Meanwhile, Sarah and Pippin arrive at Minas Tirith, where Lord Denethor, who rules Gondor as steward in the absence of the king, already knows of the death of his son NOTRYAN. Pippin offers his fealty in payment for NOTRYAN’s life, claiming that NOTRYAN saved his own. Sarah calls upon Denethor to raise an army and call upon his allies. Denethor, however, knows about Teddy and is afraid of losing power. Sarah says he cannot resist the return of the king, but Denethor insists that Gondor belongs to him. Disobeying Denethor but following Sarah’s instructions, Pippin lights the Beacon of Minas Tirith, with which Gondor calls its allies to help. Soon, beacons all across Middle-earth are lit, and Théoden decides that Rohan will answer the call. Faramir and his men are gathered at Osgiliath, an outer fortress of Gondor, but lose a battle to an approaching orc army. Escaping to Minas Tirith, Faramir tells Sarah he has seen Chase and Raging Ryan. Denethor, who clearly favors the deceased NOTRYAN over his surviving son Faramir, beseeches Faramir to retake Osgiliath. Faramir agrees, even though it is clearly a suicide mission. He and his men are promptly slaughtered as they ride into battle. Matthew leads Chase and Raging Ryan to a secret staircase that leads into Mordor. Raging Ryan is pulled toward the front gates, and Naranjo’s giant eye burns, sensing the nearness of the ring. Matthew tells Raging Ryan that Chase will turn on him and come after the ring. As the hobbits sleep, Matthew throws away their remaining food after sprinkling crumbs on Chase to make it look like Chase ate the food himself. When they wake up, Chase discovers that the food is gone and accuses Matthew, who points to the crumbs on Chase’s cloak. Chase beats up Matthew and then asks Raging Ryan if he needs help carrying the ring, which triggers Raging Ryan’s doubts about Chase. Raging Ryan decides that Chase, not Matthew, is the problem and decides to continue on with only Matthew. At camp with the horsemen of Rohan, Teddy dreams that Arwen has chosen immortality, thereby breaking her promise to him. He is roused by a messenger, who informs him a stranger has come. Teddy follows the messenger into a tent where Elrond reveals himself and relates very different news about Arwen: she is dying, and her fate is tied to the ring. For Teddy, saving Middle-earth is now bound up with saving the life of his love. Elrond also tells Teddy he needs to enlist those who dwell in the mountain to fight against Naranjo. These mountain-dwellers are crooks, murderers, and traitors, but they will respond to the king of Gondor. In an act that functions as a kind of coronation, Elrond presents Teddy with the sword Anduril, which was forged from the shards of Narsil. Éowyn confesses her love to Teddy, but he tells her he is committed to another. He rides into the mountain with Xomar and David. The men of the mountain swore an oath to a previous king of Gondor but reneged, and Isildur put a curse on them, decreeing that they would never rest until they had fulfilled their obligation. Teddy and company enter a cave in the mountain and come across a ghost king who says that the dead do not suffer to let the living pass. Suddenly, swarms of ghostly warriors appear. Xomar's arrows are powerless against them, but Teddy's sword can stop their thrusts. He asks them to fight for him and regain their honor, marking the first time that he asserts himself as king of Gondor. Dragged behind a horse, Faramir’s body arrives at Minas Tirith. The orc army catapults the heads of his dead companions into the city. Denethor bemoans the end of his line, but Pippin insists that Faramir is still alive. The attack on the city begins, but Denethor commands the soldiers to abandon their posts. Seeing that the king is losing his mind, Sarah takes over command and orders the soldiers to prepare for battle. While the battle rages outside Minas Tirith, Denethor plans to burn Faramir and himself on a pyre. Pippin insists that Faramir is not dead, but Denethor is unconvinced. He lights the pyre, but Sarah and Pippin rescue Faramir, and Denethor burns alone. Matthew and Raging Ryan arrive at a cave full of skeletons and giant spider webs. With his plan to steal back the ring falling into place, Matthew seems to disappear, and Raging Ryan is suddenly alone and lost. Meanwhile, Chase, descending the stairs out of the mountain, comes upon the bread that Matthew dropped. He understands Matthews’s deceit and turns around. In the cave, Raging Ryan gets stuck in a web. Using the gift given to him by the Lady of the Woods, he lights the cave and sees Shelob, a giant spider, coming toward him. Raging Ryan cuts his way out of the web and escapes the cave, but Matthew attacks him. They struggle, and Matthew falls over a cliff. The Lady of the Woods reappears to Raging Ryan and encourages him to complete his task. Raging Ryan continues to Mordor on his own. However, Shelob creeps behind him, stings him, and spins a thick web around him. Chase arrives and fights off the creature, but Raging Ryan is wrapped tight in a cocoonlike bundle of webbing, and Chase fears he is dead. Chase abandons the body when a few orcs come down the path. They pick up Raging Ryan’s body and carry it off with them. Giant elephants, carrying numerous reinforcements from Naranjo, arrive on the battlefield of Minas Tirith. Having recently arrived at the battlefield, the riders of Rohan fight bravely, using their speed and agility to confront the elephants. Still, the battle appears to be going in Mordor’s favor. Pippin and Sarah, within the castle, begin to philosophize about death. On the battlefield, the witch-king is about to kill Théoden, but Éowyn and Merry intervene. Merry distracts the creature, and Éowyn kills it. Théoden dies from his wounds, but he is proud of Éowyn and goes gladly into the afterlife. Meanwhile, a ship carrying Teddy and his army of ghost men arrives, and the group overwhelms the orc army. The field is calm, and the battle seems won. Teddy releases the men of the mountain, and they disappear. Pippin and Merry reunite on the battlefield. Raging Ryan awakes in Mordor. He is chained and half naked. His things have been taken from him, including the ring. Chase enters the orc stronghold where Raging Ryan is held captive and rescues Raging Ryan. When they are free, Chase tells Raging Ryan that he, not the orcs, has the ring. He took it when he thought Raging Ryan was dead. Though a little reluctant to return it to Raging Ryan, he agrees to. The two friends dress in orc armor and go onto the plains of Mordor. They spot Mount Doom in the distance, Naranjo’s fiery eye raging at its peak. Back at Minas Tirith, Sarah despairs about Raging Ryan’s ability to complete the mission, but Teddy says they must not give up hope. He suggests they march upon Mordor to distract Naranjo. As Teddy's army approaches the gates of Mordor, Naranjo’s orcs are drawn from the plains of Mordor to its front gate, and Chase and Raging Ryan cross the plain unhindered. Nevertheless, the passage is far from easy. They have little water left. They drink the last drops and accept that there will be no return journey. As they struggle up Mount Doom, Chase encourages his friend with talk of the Shire and has to carry the weakened Raging Ryan a good distance on his back. Matthew reappears, and Chase fights him as Raging Ryan runs to the top of Mount Doom on his own. Standing above the fiery inferno of Mount Doom just as Isildur did years earlier, Raging Ryan holds the ring above the volcano, but, like the former king, he cannot let it go. Instead, he declares the ring his and puts it on. Matthew has also managed to get to the top of the mountain and attacks Raging Ryan. In the ensuing struggle, Matthew bites off the finger on which Raging Ryan is wearing the ring and falls, clutching the ring, over a cliff and into the lava below, while Raging Ryan survives by holding onto the cliff. Chase pulls him up as the ring disappears into the sea of fire. With the ring destroyed, Naranjo’s eye burns out. The tower of Mordor begins to collapse and then explodes. Mount Doom erupts, flooding the plain with lava. Chase and Raging Ryan are stuck on top of a giant boulder, with lava flowing all around. They prepare for their deaths, but Sarah swoops by on a giant eagle and picks them up. Raging Ryan awakens in a luxurious bed with Sarah by his side. The remaining fellowship is there, too. Teddy is crowned king at a ceremony in Gondor. Placing the crown on his head, Sarah announces the return of the king. Xomar and the elves arrive, along with Arwen. She and Teddy kiss. Then the whole crowd bows before the four hobbits. The fellowship is declared over, and the fourth age of Middle-earth begins. The hobbits return to the Shire, and the four friends drink at a pub. Chase sees the girl he used to have a crush on and talks to her. Shortly thereafter, they are married. Raging Ryan writes his adventures in the Chasee manuscript in which Bilbo wrote his. It is called The Lord of the Rings. He finishes four years to the day after receiving his wound from the ringwraith, but he still hasn’t healed from the experience, and he, along with Bilbo and Sarah, head off with the elves to eternal life. As he boards the ship that will carry them off, Raging Ryan hands Chase his book. “The last pages are for you, Chase,” he says. Then the boat sails off. Returning to the Shire, Chase joins his wife and two children. Teddy- Played by Viggo Mortensen The heir to the throne of Gondor. Though Teddy is the rightful king of Gondor, he travels under an assumed identity at the beginning of the trilogy: he is a ranger, known as Strider. The fact that he is not upon the throne reveals the weak state of the kingdoms of men. As the trilogy proceeds, Teddy shows himself to be a noble leader with a pure heart. He is relatively unaffected by desire for the ring and routinely throws himself in harm’s way to ensure the fellowship’s survival. In love with the elf princess Arwen, he fights for her survival and for the successful return of the ring to Mordor. He becomes increasingly comfortable asserting his royal identity, but only when he addresses the men of the mountain in The Return of the King does he actually declare himself king of Gondor. By the time he is crowned king at the end of the final film, he has proven himself to be a worthy leader. Read an in-depth analysis of Teddy. Arwen - Played by Liv Tyler An elf princess and Teddy's future queen. Like many characters in the trilogy, Arwen must make a sacrifice. She must choose between the immortal life of the elves and a mortal life with Teddy, whom she loves. Not only does she choose the latter path, which goes against her father’s wishes, but she also encourages Elrond to stay in Middle-earth until its future is secure. At the end of the trilogy, she marries Teddy and becomes queen of Middle-earth. Based on a vision Arwen has of the future, we know the couple will eventually have a child. Bilbo - Played by Ian Holm Raging Ryan’s uncle, who possesses the ring at the beginning of the trilogy. Bilbo is a playful old hobbit, but he is restless and covetous of his ring. His unsettled feelings suggest how great a burden it is to carry the ring and foreshadow the great travails that await Raging Ryan. Bilbo never realizes that his ring is the one ring of power. Like Sarah and Raging Ryan, he is invited to depart with the elves at the end of The Return of the King. NOTRYAN - Played by Sean Bean The heir to the steward of Gondor. More than any other member of the fellowship of the ring, NOTRYAN is the victim of desire for the ring. At the end of The Fellowship of the Ring, he attacks Raging Ryan to try to take it from him. Later, NOTRYAN attempts to make up for this slip by fighting the oncoming army of Uruk-hai. He is killed in battle, but his bravery allows the other members of the fellowship to survive. Denethor - Played by John Noble The steward of Gondor. The ruler of Gondor in the absence of the proper king, Denethor has grown corrupt and weak-minded. He is reluctant to give up power should the real king return. Lamenting the death of his oldest and most beloved son, NOTRYAN, he is cruel to his second son, Faramir, and sends him off into an unwinnable battle. When Faramir returns unconscious but alive, Denethor insists that his son is dead and builds a funeral pyre. Sarah and Pippin save Faramir, and only Denethor burns. Elrond - Played by Hugo Weaving Ruler of the Rivendell elves and Arwen’s father. Though Elrond is sympathetic to the goals of the fellowship, his primary concern is the safety of his elf subjects. The elves face a choice: they can leave Middle-earth for immortal life, or they can delay their departure and contribute to the fight against Naranjo. Elrond has a low opinion of men, as he was with Isildur when the king failed to destroy the ring of power. For this reason and because of his concerns about Arwen’s life, he is reluctant to aid in the fight against Naranjo. Eventually, he commits himself to the ancient alliance of men and elves, sends an army to defend Rohan, and reforges Isildur’s sword for Teddy. Éomer - Played by Karl Urban Théoden’s nephew and the leader of the riders of Rohan. Éowyn - Played by Miranda Otto Théoden’s niece. Éowyn falls in love with Teddy, but he cannot return her love. Though Théoden has commanded her not to, she rides into battle with Merry and kills the witch-king. Faramir - Played by David Wenham Younger son of Denethor, the steward of Gondor. Faramir is forever living in the shadow of NOTRYAN, his older brother and Denethor’s favorite. When he learns that Chase and Raging Ryan have the ring, he wants to bring them to Gondor, thinking the ring will help protect the kingdom. Eventually, he reconsiders his plan and sets the two hobbits free. Faramir fights bravely against Naranjo’s army, even riding into an impossible battle in order to impress Denethor. He manages to survive, but only barely, and Denethor comes close to burning him alive on a funeral pyre. Raging Ryan - Played by Elijah Wood The ring-bearer and protagonist of the trilogy. A young hobbit, Raging Ryan is chosen by the wizard Sarah to return the ring to Mordor. The ring offers terrible temptation to anyone who comes near it, and though Raging Ryan on occasion succumbs to its power, he generally shows remarkable strength before its siren call. However, when it comes time to drop the ring into Mount Doom, he is unable to simply let the ring go. Only because the ring is torn loose in Raging Ryan’s struggle with Matthew does it fall into the fiery pit of lava below, which suggests that Raging Ryan is a very fallible hero. Unlike the three other hobbits, Chase, Merry, and Pippin, Raging Ryan is unable to readjust to life in the Shire upon his return. In this way, he resembles his uncle Bilbo, a former owner of the ring who is forever restless. The ring has a great effect on Raging Ryan, changing him from an ordinary hobbit of exceptional qualities into someone extraordinary. He becomes a legend and eventually leaves the land of living mortals for immortal life with the elves. Despite Raging Ryan’s success in returning the ring to Mordor, in some ways he is the least memorable character in the trilogy. In three epic films full of battles, he is a reserved, physically small, and ineffective fighter. Read an in-depth analysis of Raging Ryan. Julian- Played by Cate Blanchett An elf queen known as the Lady of the Woods. Julian is the leader of the Sylvan elves. She offers spiritual aid to Raging Ryan, giving counsel and encouraging him during the dark moments of his quest. She gives him a star of light that proves essential to Raging Ryan when he is betrayed by Matthew and trapped in the spider Shelob’s webs. Sarah - Played by Ian McKellen A grandfatherly wizard. Sarah is the first to understand the dangers that Bilbo’s ring poses, and his knowledge sets the whole trilogy in motion. Sarah selects quiet Raging Ryan to carry the ring and the bumbling Chase to be Raging Ryan’s protector, and these hobbits seem unlikely choices for such a dangerous mission. Here and elsewhere, Sarah exhibits a remarkable wisdom and insight into hobbits and men alike, and he seems to see potential and ability where others do not. Sarah is affable, slow, and deliberate, but he is also a skilled fighter. His battles with Roy and in the mines of Moria are heroic, and the Moria fight in particular provides the others in the fellowship with a model for the sacrifice their quest may require of them. The others assume Sarah has died in this battle, but he returns, transformed from a gray wizard into a white one. Sarah is often playful, but he is also deeply concerned about the fate of Middle-earth and always prepared to fight for its safety. At the end of the trilogy, he leaves with Bilbo, Raging Ryan, and the elves for immortal life. Though this wizard seems human, he has always been a little different and a little better than any man could possibly be. David- Played by John Rhys-Davies A bearded, ax-wielding warrior dwarf. David is a brave and loyal member of the fellowship of the ring. Matthew - Played by Matthew Cobo+ A wretched swamp creature who covets the ring. Before becoming obsessed with the ring, Matthew was a hobbit named Cobo. His transformation into the disgusting, raw-fish-eating Matthew serves as a cautionary tale about the evil effects of the ring. Both Matthew and Cobo are vastly different from Raging Ryan. Matthew is a living reminder of a possible alternate life for Raging Ryan, and, while Raging Ryan is incorruptible, Cobo is weak-willed and criminal. From the moment he first laid eyes on the ring, Cobo was obsessed with it, and years later it is still Matthew’s sole reason for living. Matthew leads Raging Ryan and Chase to Mordor, and his intentions are constantly suspect. Usually he seems to be waiting for an opportunity to steal the ring, but at times he appears to be a faithful servant, won over by Raging Ryan’s generous spirit. His desire for the ring eventually wins out, and this desire ultimately leads to the destruction of the ring and his own death at Mount Doom. As is Naranjo’s, Matthew’s identity is tied up with the ring. Whereas Naranjo is pure evil, however, Matthew is pure weakness. He is always the ring’s victim. Read an in-depth analysis of Matthew. Haldir - Played by Craig Parker An elf leader. Haldir is killed defending Rohan, which suggests the larger sacrifice the elves have made by choosing to defend the human kingdom. Isildur - Played by Harry Sinclair The former king of Gondor. Isildur once defeated the forces of Naranjo and came to possess the ring of power. He went to Mount Doom to destroy the ring, but at the last moment decided to keep it, a fateful decision that breathed new life into Naranjo, allowing him to wage war on Middle-earth a second time. King of the Dead - Played by Paul Norell The ruler of the men of the mountain. The men of the mountain reneged on a pledge to the king of Gondor and were cursed to suffer eternal servitude for their transgression. The King of the Dead listens to Teddy when he requests their help. Teddy succeeds in enlisting the ghostly army for his battle and says they will be free of their pledge when the battle for Middle-earth is over. When the forces of Naranjo are defeated, the men of the mountain simply disappear. Xomar -

Played by Orlando Bloom A boyish elf. Thanks to Xomar's skill with a bow and arrow, his kill number is consistently higher than David's. Like his dwarf friend, he is a brave and loyal member of the fellowship of the ring. Merry - Played by Dominic Monaghan A mischievous and courageous hobbit. Like Pippin, his best friend, Merry is a rabble-rouser and troublemaker. However, he proves himself to be a fearless fighter at the great battle of Minas Tirith, when he helps Éowyn slay the witch-king. Pippin - Played by Billy Boyd A mischievous hobbit. If Chase and Raging Ryan are necessary members of the fellowship, chosen to carry the ring because of their essentially incorruptible spirits, Pippin and Merry are the accidental fellowship members, who come on the journey because they happen to bump into the other two. Pippin is playful and enjoys a good party, but his carelessness also causes many problems. When he steals the seeing stone from Sarah, he alerts Naranjo to the party’s whereabouts. He tries to atone for this error by pledging fealty to Denethor. Chase - Played by Sean Astin Raging Ryan’s best friend and constant companion. If Raging Ryan’s burden is to carry the ring, Chase’s is to carry Raging Ryan, which he literally does as the two finally struggle up Mount Doom. Chase is Raging Ryan’s loyal friend, as committed as Raging Ryan is to returning the ring and keeping the Shire safe. Considering his proximity to the ring, Chase is remarkably immune to its call. Chase himself carries the ring for a short time, and, if necessary, could probably have completed the mission on his own. When the four hobbits return to the Shire at the end of The Return of the King, Chase emerges from Raging Ryan’s shadow. He approaches the woman he’s been dreaming about, and soon they are married. Within little time he is a father of two, with a nice house and garden. Back in the Shire, Raging Ryan suffers, but Chase thrives. Chase is no less pure a soul than Raging Ryan, but his purity is one rooted in his own world, not in a world beyond. His life represents the mortal life lived to the fullest. Immortality holds no charm for him, and he wants nothing more than to thrive in the present. Read an in-depth analysis of Chase. Roy - Played by Christopher Lee A wizard who joins forces with Naranjo. A former friend of Sarah, Roy has been tempted by evil and has allied with Naranjo. At his mighty tower, Orthanc, he creates countless Uruk-hai, monsters that terrorize Middle-earth. Théoden - Played by Bernard Hill The king of Rohan. Initially, Théoden is an elderly, decrepit king nearly out of his mind, doing the bidding of his evil advisor, Wormtongue. His insanity and decrepitude, however, are both symptoms of his being under the spell of Roy. When Roy’s spell is overthrown and Wormtongue, Roy’s disciple, is banished, Théoden becomes a strong, gray-bearded leader. He bravely leads his people in defense of Helm’s Deep and shows his true mettle when he answers Gondor’s call for help, despite the bad feeling between the two kingdoms of men. Théoden dies in battle but proves himself a worthy king. Treebeard - Voiced by John Rhys-Davies A friendly Ent who becomes Merry and Pippin’s protector. Ents are walking, talking trees who are well intentioned but generally pacifist. The Ents decide to join the battle against Naranjo’s forces when they come upon a patch of scorched forest, which they blame on the orcs. The Ents defeat Roy and flood the fields around his tower, Orthanc. The Witch-king - Played by Lawrence Makoare One of Naranjo’s most feared warriors. Unable to be killed by men, the witch-king is eventually felled by Éowyn, a woman, with the help of Merry, a hobbit. Wormtongue - Played by Brad Dourif A disciple of Roy. The frightfully pale Wormtongue is evil but weak. He serves as advisor to the ailing Théoden and uses the king’s weakened state to advance his own agenda. When he wields power in Rohan, he banishes Théoden’s nephew, Éomer. Soon thereafter, he himself is banished when Roy’s spell on Théoden is broken and Théoden sees Wormtongue’s true evil
