John Ronald Reuel Tolkien

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, or simply J.R.R. Tolkien, is a prolific author and a former soldier.

Fighting in World War IEdit
John Tolkien wrote a paper titled The Burden of the Purest Heart. He soon enlisted in the army, serving on the front line at the Battle of the Somme. He developed typhoid fever, and despite claims of being fine, began to faint, causing him to be taken back to the Legends' timeship, the Waverider. After curing him, they put him to work helping find a way to destroy the Spear of Destiny, using the ship's vast library to locate the grave of Sir Gawain, whereupon they would find blood of Christ to destroy the Spear. They found their way to the Church of Amiens, where they found the skeleton of Gawain, along with his shield. They were ambushed by the Legion of Doom, before Tolkien quickly took down the shield's design, fleeing with the Legends. They discovered the blood to be located in the middle of no man's land. Rip Hunter and Tolkien travelled to the British camp, approaching a superior. They requested that he engage in a ceasefire, but when he refused to do so, Rip knocked him out, asking the soldiers himself via speaker. The Legends soon found the blood of Christ in a vial, but they were forced to flee after the ceasefire was ruined, leaving Tolkien behind.[1]

When the Legends went back to try and stop the Legion from getting the spear, they tried to get it from themselves when they took Tolkien to the church. When the Present Legends thought their future counterparts were the Legion in disguise, they attacked to the horror and confusion of Tolkien.

Becoming a prolific authorEdit
Tolkien eventually wrote two pieces of work, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and became famous because of them. His paper, The Burden of the Purest Heart, was also published.[1]
