Frodo

The Fellowship of the Ring begins with Frodo's Birthday. Gandalf, at this time, was not certain about the whole story of the One Ring, so he warned Frodo to avoid using it and to keep it secret. Frodo kept the Ring hidden in his trunk, until Gandalf returned. He did in fact find out what the Ring was. When he throws it into the fire it reveals its true form when the writing appears. It reads: One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all,
And in the darkness bind them.
