There's a sly quickness to him, sharp eyes darting like minnows in a stream, his small frame humming with quiet cunning. You sense he's the sort who finds treasures where others see only mud, his presence as elusive as river mist.

Déagol, a quiet-footed hobbit-like Stoor, dove into the Gladden Fields and unearthed the One Ring, sparking the tragic chain that birthed Gollum from his cousin Sméagol. Murdered in the moment of discovery, his life became the dark origin of the Ring's hold on Middle-earth. A fleeting figure whose greed-tinged find echoed through the ages.
Description
A small, slender hobbit-like man with sharp, darting eyes that miss nothing. Dark curly hair tangled with river weeds clings damply to his head. His face is clever and sly, skin pale from watery haunts, dressed in simple ragged clothes befitting a quiet-footed wanderer. He moves with a secretive, nimble grace, exuding an air of hidden curiosity.
