Okay, how about this:
Tom is a Space/Time traveller. Eventually he came to Arda (before the darkness was filled with fear or whatever the quote is, of course) fell in love with it, and settled down. He is either an alien species with immortality or ridiculous longevity, or he just pops into different time periods whenever he feels like it. I think the alien would be more likely, especially since it would help explain why the Ring had no power over him.
Or maybe he's a mass hallucination. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
PS. Why is one of the message icons suddenly a Portugese ad for Telefonica? It makes about as much sense as what I just wrote.
