Illogical, Captain Kirk.
That would include people like Barliman Butterbur, who provided essential lodging and food.

Heroism implies the exercise of bravery. Only members of the fellowship and people like soldiers of Rohan qualify. Gollum is not a hero, he is a miserable being who was used by Fate to achieve its ends.
