Rather bland title, but the pic is okay. I don’t know where the lore came from though.
It’s a really cool minion though, since for 3 twilight at site 2 or 3 you get a 12 strength minion. And then at sites 4-6 he has 10 strength. I can see a quick-striking Shadow side if there are more cards like this! Game over in 2 minutes! 
His downside is his low vitality, but give him a Pavise and you’ll be fine.
A low 4 from me, but if the strategy gets fleshed out then he could maybe even be a 5.

Saruman, Sharkey
To expensive. Its funny how D makes either overpowered or underpowered cards. This one is only worth it in region 1 or 2, which I guess isn’t to bad. But with vitality 1, he should be 3 twilight.
Wait, shouldn’t it be region 3? Cause he shows up at the end.
Oh well. I hate the title, but I guess they’re hitting a wall with no more titles. |

As I lay in bed staring at the stars last night, I thought to myself, "where the heck is the ceiling?"

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

Um, he is 3 twilight.

Since Bree was one of the first places that the Hobbits went to on the Quest, so it fits in perfectly (look at sites like Bree Gate and Bree Streets).

| NB is thinking he is from the scouring of the shire, but he obviously isn’t. |

Awesome! The first minion with a site number of 2!  A few copies of this guy in region 1 could mean a dead fellowship!
A 5 from me!  |

Sweet! This minion could be a killer. For ONLY 3 twilight during the ENTIRE game, you can have a minion that is Strength 12, 10, or 8. I like the idea alot too. I give it a 5.
AP, Nelya from Shadows have a site number of 2 as well. So techincally, he was the first minion with the lowest site number.  |

With the title "Ruffian", he is from the Scouring. That’s the only place where we see "Ruffian". At Bree, it was just half-orcs and such.
And here’s what I think about the gametext...
Region 1 and Region 2 are supposedly the ones closest to home. The Scouring was right at home. So Region 1 and Region 2 actually model the Scouring quite well. |

All but one copy of Nelya have site 2 as their site number, as does the original Bill Ferny. |
