No one's active, I see.
So, tell me, what do Finrod Felagund Thráin Beren Frodo have in common?

They were all, at one point, captured in a by the Enemy? (all in a tower, I might add)

That's true.
I'm not sure whether you refer to Sauron as "the Enemy" (as I thought the answer to be) or to both Melkor and Sauron, but anyway, feel welcome to take the thread.

I refer to Sauron, I just didn't want to write him as person because it might be little bit confusing, since it was him personally who captured Beren and Felagund; and in the case of Frodo and Thráin he was not personally involved in the capture.
Okay, what do these characters have in common: Aragorn Frodo Gollum the Lord of the Ringwraith Sam

They all went under different identities at some point?
Aragorn as Thorongil, Frodo as Mr Underhill, Gollum as Smeagol, Lord of the Ringwraiths as The Witch King of Angmar, and Sam as a great elvish warrior. It's stretching it but all I can think of... |

Nice attempt, but it is not what I meant. And I wouldn't consider the great elf warrior being Sam's other identity, it certainly was not an alter ego he adopted, when someone saw him regularly, he definitely could not believe his disguise any longer
But you have good points which can serve as good clues. Any other guesses?

Probably it's a stupid guess...but here goes: maybe they were all alive during the War of the Ring
