All 6 Ring-Bearers in The Lord of the Rings, Ranked by How Well They Resisted It
From Déagol to Frodo Baggins, several crucial characters became bearers of the One Ring, but some resisted its dangerous influence better than others.
Professor J. R. R. Tolkien's most iconic creation in his legendarium has to be the One Ring. Forged by the Dark Lord Sauron, who poured much of his power into it, the One Ring was designed to control all other Rings of Power and extend Sauron's will, allowing him to dominate all life. Though Sauron lost the ring during the Last Alliance of Men and Elves, it could only be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom, where it was forged. However, the ring protects itself by tempting whoever finds it with their greatest desires, thus ensuring that no one can willingly destroy it.
