The Trickster in LotR

[Kuruharan]

Evisse the Blue

The parts that do not fit may be because we know this character too little, or they haven't had a chance to manifest themselves in the given situations.

I don't agree. I believe we do know enough about Tom's general character to make some comfortable assumptions about him, strange as that may sound. Can you picture him appearing with a *FLASH* *BANG* and ravishing young hobbit maidens, going on a looting spree of Bree, or leading an army of Huorns and Ent-wraiths to flatten the Shire?

Well, I guess there was that one time...

...and I think I just came up with a new crackpot theory about what happened to the Ent-wives.
