Bill Ferny

Bill Ferny is a npc in Bree ..

Lore
Bill Ferny was known by others residing in Bree as a very unpleasant person and was disliked by all at birth, and his reputation did not improve with age, and so therefore, he acquired a bad name and a reputation for nefarious activities. His main area of interest and the source of his income seemed to be information brokerage but at times other mischievous activities.

When learning of the traveling hobbits, he sold information of their movements to the Nazgûl, an action that Merry had witnessed. He also was probably directly responsible for the letting loose of the ponies that could have been used by the hobbits to leave the city. Even though he tried to avoid aiding the Fellowshi[ as they passed through, he sold a pony named Bill for twelve silver pennies (three times its value) to the hobbits and Strider replacing their five, which had thought to have been stolen the previous night that he had helped to escape.
