Gríma (Wormtongue) was King [[Théoden|]]'s chief advisor in The Lord of the Rings, but secretly in thrall to Saruman he sought to undermine the kingdom. Upon Gandalf's arrival, "many things that man had missed" were found locked in his trunk and he was given a grim choice: ride into battle or into exile. Choosing exile, he followed Saruman to the Shire where the two sought revenge in petty tyranny over the hobbits. Pushed into exile again after Frodo's return, he stabbed Saruman to death and was felled by a hobbit arrow for his treachery.
