Merry has always been a close friend of Frodo, and together with Pippin and Samwise, he learned of Frodo's plans to leave the Shire and decided to go with him to Bree. After arriving in Bree, Merry wanted to join the Fellowship, despite Elrond's opposition. Gandalf thought that the loyalty of a true friend could be much better than the strength of a warrior. Merry traveled with the company to the Ford of Bruinen, where he and Pippin were captured by orcs. They managed to escape into Fangorn Forest while the orcs were attacked by the Riders of Rohan. There they met Treebeard and played a crucial role in the destruction of Isengard. It was in Isengard that Merry met King Théoden, to whom he offered his services. He rode with Dernhelm from Théoden's army to Gondor. He fought bravely and desperately in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields and was present at Théoden's death. Merry almost died from the Black Breath, but he was healed by Aragorn. After the War of the Ring, Merry became a Knight of Rohan. He then returned to the Shire, where he became one of the leading forces in its scouring. After his father's death, Meriadoc was proclaimed Master of Buckland and became known as Meriadoc the Magnificent
