When his father, Otho, died in {{SR|1412}}, Lotho inherited [[pipe-weed]] plantations in the [[Southfarthing]], selling the pipe-weed to people away south.<br /> <br /> After [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] sold [[Bag End]] to Lobelia in [[September]] {{TA|3018}} and left [[the Shire]], Lotho continued to sell pipe-weed to the [[Wizard]] [[Saruman]], becoming richer and more powerful, and using the proceeds to buy land and property all over the Shire in order to control it. <br /> <br /> [[Men]] (&quot;[[ruffians]]&quot;) from [[Isengard]] began coming into the Shire to help Lotho control and supress the people. With their help, he desposed of the rightful [[Mayor of the Shire]], [[Will Whitfoot]], and imprisoned him in the &quot;[[Lockholes]],&quot; naming himself Chief [[Shirriffs|Shirriff]], or simply '''[[Chief]]'''.<br /> <br /> Lotho continued ordering, industrialising and controlling the Shire's life until Saruman (called &quot;[[Sharkey]]&quot;) arrived in the Shire, in September {{TA|3019}}, and took over direct power. Lotho was held prisoner in Bag End for a short while until [[Gríma|Gríma Wormtongue]] killed him in his sleep (and possibly ate him). Thus, the hobbit who tried to take over the Shire, met a very untimely end.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The name ''Lotho'' was meaningless in contemporary [[Hobbitish]] [[Westron]]. It represented an original name ''Lotha''.&lt;ref&gt;{{App|Translation}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Portrayal in Adaptations==<br /> '''2002: [[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (video game)|''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'' (video game)]]:'''<br /> :Lotho walks around in Bywater.<br /> <br /> {{references}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Hobbits]]<br /> [[Category:Sackville-Baggins]]<br /> [[Category:Characters in The Lord of the Rings]]<br /> [[de:Lotho Sackheim-Beutlin]]<br /> [[fr:encyclo/personnages/hobbits/sacquet_de_besace/lotho_sacquet_de_besace]]<br /> [[fi:Lotho Säkinheimo-Reppuli]]</div>
