Jurion nononono. The ents were a different race totally, spirits sent from Eru to guard the growing things from his children, taking Tree form. Tom couldn't be a Maia, who would he serve? He COULD be a Umaia or an Ainur, but he isn't. He is something very different, not from ME or Ea, from somewhere totally different, a totally different story, where he once got eaten by a badger (just saying that to set the scene). He was put into LoTRs to fill a vital hole: the tree hugging, fun loving fat man of course! Oh yeah Oldest non-ainur Speaking being, if Treebeard is a first generation ent then he will be the same age as the oldest elves, and if same with Cirdan (first generation Elf that is).
