He dislikes himself, stale raw fish, and “hobbitses.” Before obtaining the ring he was an inquisitive child with odd interests, who enjoyed causing mischief and solitary activities such as burrowing under trees to look at roots. Sméagol has forgotten many memories of his childhood, and we have limited collateral history on his premorbid personality. He has no history of substance misuse, although like many young hobbits he smoked “pipe weed” in adolescence. His forensic history consists of Deagol's murder and the attempted murder of Samwise Gamgee. 1 Since then Gollum has had obsessional thoughts and has dedicated his life to reacquiring it, sometimes with violence. When Gollum was 25, the ring was stolen by Bilbo Baggins. Eventually Sméagol created Gollum, the outsider, who had a more violent personality. He lived for many years with the ring as his only friend and began to detest the outside world-loathing the sun, moon, and wind. His family and community, appalled by his actions and believing he was a thief and murderer, banished him to a solitary life in the misty mountains. For Sméagol this was an important life event the ring enabled him to disappear and listen secretly to conversations. He was spiteful to others and had only one friend, Deagol, whom he later murdered after stealing the ring from him. Nothing is known about Sméagol's birth or schooling. Sméagol comes from a wealthy and influential family, his grandmother being a wise woman in the river folk community. He has presented with antisocial behaviour, increasing aggression, and preoccupation with the “one ring.” Sméagol (Gollum) is a single, 587 year old, hobbit-like male of no fixed abode.
