He's the sort who fills a room with bluster, eyes sharp and demanding like he's already owed something. A whiff of entitlement clings to him, making the air thicken with unease. You can't help but brace for his next sharp word.

Otho Sackville-Baggins, a grasping relative eager to claim Bag End, storms into Bilbo's farewell feast in the Mathom-house, rudely demanding to see the will amid the family dinner. His offensive outburst and stomping exit highlight the petty rivalries among the hobbits coveting Bilbo's home. Though minor, he embodies the Sackville-Bagginses' longstanding grudge, setting a tone of familial tension as Frodo inherits the estate.

Description

A stout Hobbit with a round face flushed ruddy, framed by curly dark brown hair and bushy side-whiskers. His shrewd brown eyes peer out sharply from under thick brows, lips often pursed in disapproval. Dressed in a simple waistcoat over breeches and sturdy boots, he carries a stocky, hobbit build that moves with indignant purpose. His presence bristles with barely contained offense.
