Figwit!
Name: Figwit
Real Name: Unknown
Name Origin: Frodo is grea.... Who is THAT!?!?!?!?!
Explanation of name: Figwit was first spotted in the council of Elrond
(Fellowship of the Ring) sitting next to Aragorn. When Frodo says "I will take
the ring" We are all so impressed we start to think "Frodo is Great" But before
we can finish "Figwit" appears on the screen and all we can think is "Who is
THAT!!!" (We being us obsessed Figwit fans). And hence his name is forever
Figwit!
Role in the films:
Fellowship of the ring: In the council of Elrond sitting next to Aragorn (easy
to spot, the other side is a empty space). Though unnamed and doesn't say
anything, just being in the council makes him important!
Two Towers: He's not in this one.
Return of the King: He finally gets lines!!! He's the one who tells Arwin that
they have to hurry to the docks something like "Lady Arwen, we must hurry" and
then when she rides of he is the one who calls "My Lady" after her. This shows
that Elrond obviously trusts him enough to take care of Arwin (not that she
needed it but still....) and therefore reinforces the fact he's important. Also
it suggests Figwit has lived in Rivendell for some time or at least has known
Elrond for awhile. But it could just mean that he and Arwin are close friends.
Maybe he's both!!
Role in the Books: Unknown, mainly because nobody knows his real name.
Actor: Bret McKenzie

Note: There is no such thing as a "good" Figwit picture, as no one has been able to get hold of one. Not really surprising considered how often he appears. it's a pity, he really should have been given a bigger part!
