Would Frodo really be improved by a super special RPG style backstory written by "that guy" with previous adventures and all? Maybe a chosen one prophecy and a secret lineage? Perhaps he knows the name of the wind? I don't see what that has to do with them as characters though, his history is quite well defined and it informs the character. I like the fact that the characters are so humble, it makes their deeds all more heroic.
