My suggestions will be perhaps a bit hazardous for most of the expectation there, but why not having 2 additional and purely anonym personages to fit in the Prancing Pony scenery. In my sense and although already rich of different personages, this scenery of the Prancing Pony has always been a successful attraction for the Mithril collectors and some others too. This scenery has always been in the anticipation of every body to see additional personages or extras in order to complete some dioramas inspired by the original series released some years ago. So, why not taking advantage of the opportunity there and add 2 more personages for the Prancing Pony, which can be used in some other location too? One personage will be good or at least representing no danger and the other one will be bad and both could be used as double employment personages, either for representing a mini scene for Prancing Pony for example, or and also, both could be used as single and independent personages too. ---------------------------------------------------------- GOOD GUY I start by the good one who could be just one rich, numb and joyful customers of the inn, I see him as a rich established citizen of Bree (or somewhere else citizen), over 50 year old with a comfortable and opulent stomach (gastronome type)- He is standing next to a pillar of the inn. …(Please don’t get me wrong, I am not suggesting there that the fact of being rich and opulent represents some kind of goodness, it’s just an image of an Epicurean type guy that I am trying to describe with that guy) He has a pleasant; round, honest and smiling face; he could be smoking pipe or drinking and he is just watching the other folks around him, and seems amused by something among the other folks of the Inn (perhaps by Frodo singing…?). He could be dressed with and richly ornamented coat, with a rich jewel around his neck. He would have a luxuriant belt with an opulent bag full of coins attached on it—(I already anticipate my bad guy character there)

BAD GUY My suggestion for the bad guy is more complex because it could at be first, complementary to my suggestion for the good guy and consequently forming a mini scene, but also, he could be used as a human spy of Sauron among the folks of the Inn. He could first be used as a thief trying to steal the opulent bag full of coins of my good guy (see my good guy suggestion). Just passing discreetly behind the good guy (see my good guy suggestion again) and trying (or at least seems doing the action) to steal tactfully the bag with a great and almost invisible dexterity. In second suggestion, it could be used as a spy passing discreetly behind any of the folks of the Inn or anything else to get a closer look or hearing to what it got pay for—spying. In both cases I see him as a furtive thin, tall and dark silhouette giving a bit the impression of a discreet shadow; he could be dressed with a hood on his head and cape.

Oh drat! I thought of something better than I originally posted. I'd like to offer for voting (my sincere apologies for any confusion this might make concerning earlier postings on my part) the following: BAD GUY: Brogga (sp?), the non-canonical King of Rhudaur, erstwhile toady of the Witch-King of Angmar (as provided in the MERP background) before the Witch-King altogether removed any leadership in Rhudaur. I see Brogga as a Hill-man (which is pretty much an off-shoot of the Daen Coetis stock...progenitors of the Dunmen?) yet attempting to to curry acceptance amongst the lordly and noble of Eriador as an inheritor of authority and power from the ancient line of Dunedain. More description to follow....

(continuation)...he would be wearing fine Gondorian chain armor, and carry a good Northman long sword (the very best a man of his stature could buy), but would still wear much accoutrements you would find on his people; arm bands of gold, a Hill-man style helmet, and wear his mustache long as well as his year (probably held in place with tooled leather and gold wire). Now the "good guy"....

GOOD GUY...
I would like to recommend Nar, companion of the 1st Dwarf king in exile, Thror, who was killed by Azog in the Mines of Moria. After Thrór's death, Nár bore the ill tidings to Thrór's son Thráin, which prompted to dreadful war between the Dwarves and Goblins (to which dwarves still weep and goblins still shake with fear)
I imagine Nar on his knees, his hands holding the severed and branded head of his liege and kinsman, Thror, so that he could peer into the agonzied face of his beloved lord.

Good guy:
Thorongil
From Appendix A (sorry for the long quotes, but they are just so lovely). "In much he (Ecthelion II) did he had the aid and advice of a great captain whom he loved above all. Thorongil men called him in Gondor, the Eagle of the Star, for he was swift and keen-eyed, and wore a silver star upon his cloak; but no one knew his true name nor in what land he was born. He came to Ecthelion from Rohan, where he had served the King Thengel, but he was not one of the Rohirrim. He was a great leader of men, by land or by sea, but departed into the shadows whence he came, before the days of Ecthelion were ended." "Thorongil often counselled Ecthelion that the strength of the rebels in Umbar was a great peril to Gondor, and a threat to the fiefs of the south that would probe deadly, if Sauron moved to open war. At last he got leave of the Steward and gathered a small fleet, and he came to Umbar unlooked for by night and there burned a great part of the ships of the Corsairs. He himself overthrew the Captain of the Haven in battle upon the quays..." "With him (Gandalf) he made many perilous journeys, but as the years wore on he went more often alone. His ways were hard and long, and he became somewhat grim to look upon, unless he chanced to smile; and yet he seemed to Men worthy of honour, as a king that is in exile, when he did not hide his true shape. For he went in many guises, and won renown under many names. He rode in the host of the Rohirrim, and fought for the Lord of Gondorby land and by sea; and then in the hour of victory he passed out of the knowledge of Men of the West, and went alone far into the East and deep into the South uncovering the plots and devices of the servants of Sauron." "Thus he became at last the most hardy of living Men, skilled in their crafts and lore, and was yet more than they; for he was elven-wise, and there was a light in his eyes that when they were kindled few could endure. His face was sad and stern because of the doom that was laid on him, and yet hope dwelt ever in the depths of his heart, from which mirth would arise at times like a spring from the rock."
He could be in gear of Gondor or Rohan or East styled wear with a cloak and silver star.

Yes, I like that idea so much I'm not even going to suggest a good guy of my own. Brilliant.
