~ Bilbo to Thorin.
Bilbo Baggins is the titular main protagonist of The Hobbit trilogy and a supporting protagonist in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. He is a hobbit, who joins Thorin Oakenshield and company on their quest to reclaim their long-lost kingdom of Erebor and the treasure within by Smaug.
He was portrayed by the late Ian Holm as a 111-year-old and as a 50-year-old, and was portrayed by Martin Freeman in the Hobbit trilogy (who portrays Everett Ross in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and also played Arthur Dent in The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and John Watson in Sherlock). In the Japanese dub of The Hobbit trilogy, he is voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa.
Bilbo was initially reluctant to go on an adventure and hated the dwarves being in his home. However, after Gandalf convinced him, Bilbo came to the aid of the Dwarves. He himself admits he had grown fond of them to Thranduil.
He has a very charming personality and was able to be seen as pleasant by almost anyone. His personality seemingly protected him from the One Ring's corruption for many years. However, the ring was able to bring out the worst in him after awhile.
Abilities
Bilbo was surprisingly good with a sword as he was able to cut the Giant Spiders of Mirkwood's cobwebs.

Trivia
Bilbo is the first individual who voluntarily gave up the One Ring.
The way the One Ring slips out of Bilbo's hand in An Unexpected Journey and the ring lands on his finger is similar to the way Frodo catches the ring onto his own finger after it slips out of his hand as well.
Bilbo uses the One Ring to make himself invisible a total of six times throughout the trilogy: -1st - to escape Gollum in the Goblins' caves. -2nd - to escape the spiders. -3rd - to help Thorin and the rest of the Company to escape from Thranduil's cells. -4th - to hide from Smaug's sight after his awakening. -5th - to avoid being eaten by Smaug, running from Smaug's fire breath. -6th - to travel from Dale to Ravenhill, to tell Thorin about Azog's trap.
By sparing Gollum, Bilbo unknowingly helped save Middle-earth. If Gollum was dead, he wouldn’t have been able to bite off Frodo’s finger and accidentally destroy the Ring, thus depowering Sauron into a mere spirit and saving Middle-earth.
