Professor Rashbold was a Man living in the 20th century England.

History

Rashbold transliterated and translated the Edwin Lowdham's manuscript on the behest of Michael George Ramer. The text was in Old English written in Tengwar. It described the Downfall of Númenor.[1]

He was described by Lowdham as a "grumpy old bear".[1]

Inspiration

The name Rashbold is a pun on J.R.R. Tolkien's own surname, being a translation from German Toll-kühn (meaning "foolhardy").[2][3]
