a Maiar, one of the five

That would be the Istari, no? Pretty sure there are more than five Maiar...

I just meant the five Maiar who then went on to become Wizards but I phrased it poorly!

My head canon was that Tom was Eru Iluvatar just living his best life enjoying all the things he'd created.

There was a Reddit write up that argued Tom was Arda's spirit itself and had quite a few convincing points. It is pretty clear that (keeping in mind that canon is a bit nebulous beyond the four books JRR actually published) he is probably not a Maia and also probably not Eru, beyond the level that everything is Eru anyways.
