Thanks! I tried to avoid using Sauron.
Now what about
Barliman Butterbur -> Glorfindel ?
Special rule: Do not use any members of the Fellowship (including ponies

).

Would that be 1st or 3rd Age Glorfindel? Or are they considered the same elf for this thread?

Glorfindel of Rivendell, the 3rd Age guy. The solution I'm thinking of doesn't depend on him being 1st Age Glorfindel reincarnated, if that's what you thought.

Are we allowed to count the nine Nazgul as one person?

Now that would be easy, wouldn't it? Try to pick one of them - and not 'Whichever of the Nine was in Bree at the time'. I want a name.

Barliman Butterbur->Bill Fenry->Witch King->Glorfindel

Almost what I thought of (indeed one degree shorter than mine). I'll accept it as correct (and bonus points for elegance) if you can give me a quote that proves Bill Ferny met the Witch King himself in person. Otherwise you need one more person to link them (not necessarily one whose name we know, but someone who can be identified by, let's say, three words).
