1. What are the names of the two guards from Gondor that were assigned to watch over Frodo and Sam?

Answer: Mablung and Damrod

Thinbor, Bleswing, Elassan, and Durnstard are all made-up names. Mablung and Damrod were the two guards assigned by Faramir to guard Frodo and Sam.

2. What is Gandalf's name in the south?

Answer: Incanus

His nickname is "Incanus" in the south. The other ones are all nicknames for him, but they are used in different regions.

3. Which man from Gondor spotted Gollum and helped Frodo capture him?

Answer: Anborn

Some say Faramir was the one who spotted him, but he only brought Frodo to where Gollum was. Anborn was the one who actually spotted him and helped Frodo capture him.

4. What is the name of the man who was missing and presumed dead, but led his men in at the last second and helped save Helm's Deep?

Answer: Erkenbrand

This one may have tricked you. Gandalf wasn't missing; he had ridden off in search of Erkenbrand because he and his men were needed at Helm's Deep. In the movie, this incident was changed to eliminate Erkenbrand, and it was Eomer who rode up with Gandalf.
