A contemporary of Fangorn, Barkmaster was a tough old oak of an Ent: gnarled, wizened and unbowed, he acknowledged no master and proclaimed himself "longest lived of all," but for Treebeard, presumably. Typically shy, he was rarely seen after TA 1000 and is believed to have settled into Fangorn Forest posing as an oak tree most unfriendly to Orcs and other servants of Sauron.
