Boromir, Denethor, Saruman, hell, even Theoden (sort of) say hi.
Hell, add in the rest of the legendarium and I can throw Thorin, Thranduil, all of the Fëanorians, Eöl, Hùrin, Tùrin, Mîm, most people Tùrin interact with and even Galadriel. And I wouldn’t be done. Just because Tolkien has some pitch-black (and even then...) and pure white (and even then...) characters doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of gray to go around.
To each his own, I like LOTR better as the own book it’s supposed to be personally.
Alright, but did you assume any magical reptile bits and if so, which ones ?
