Okay, so apparently he's a vet, like what. He didn't kill any one, though he saw countless lives taken away. Hmmm...seems a bit like Mordor, oh wait, that's what Mordor was inspired from you know that horrific place with the Orcs and Sauron....yeah that one. Oh and Bilbo Baggin's village is based off of where he grew up. I never knew biographies would actually teach me interesting things. Well, he only really joined the war because he felt left out, literally just went so he wouldn't feel left out, that was only after finishing his degree at Oxford.
Also I don't know if I've said this before but when he was in his later teens he was in love with a girl, Edith, after hanging out for several months they eventually figured out they both had feelings for each other. Alas she moved away after they had no contact with each other, not even letters, because Father Francis, legal guardian of the Tolkien boys, forbid it as Tolkien began to mess up is school work. He became desperate and waited around the town market wanting to "accidentally" see her and engage in small talk. Oh hey...I'll finish this later.
