I know the lore pretty well so happy to answer any queries about how the OP is worded if you want.Have you any insights based on the OP? I did read the books years ago but they were very, very tedious.
If I may be so blunt the books are hugely overrated. The amount of time spent describing leaves falling from the trees and fluffy irrelevant shite is insane.
Tbh there isn't much apart from the identity of the SK.
And that people can be corrupted but there's not much detail on that. Possible conversion. Nazgul blade maybe? That's just speculation though.
It also seems that only our hobbits can be ring bearers. So should Frodo fall, the ring will pass to another hobbit. If the hobbits all die, we're screwed as part of the village win con is to successfully get the ring to Mordor.
So nobody should reveal their character under any circumstances.
