Lords of the south of East Beleriand
Amrod and Amras, the red-haired twin sons of Fëanor and the youngest of the seven, were hunters who held the wide woods of southern East Beleriand. They followed their brothers through every battle and both Kinslayings in Beleriand and died together in the assault on the Havens of Sirion.
King of Lórien
Amroth, King of Lórien after Amdír, loved the Silvan maiden Nimrodel. When the Balrog woke in Moria and she fled south, he followed her to the havens of Belfalas; waiting there for her in vain, he leapt from his ship in a storm and drowned. Cerin Amroth in Lórien and Dol Amroth in Gondor bear his name.
Lord of Dorthonion
Angrod, third son of Finarfin, held the northern highlands of Dorthonion with his brother Aegnor through the Siege of Angband. He was the first of the Noldor to be received by Thingol as a messenger, and the one who, stung by Caranthir's insult, told the king the whole truth of the Kinslaying. He died in the fires of the Dagor Bragollach.
Chieftain of the Dúnedain of the North
Arathorn II was the fifteenth Chieftain of the Dúnedain of the North and the father of Aragorn. He ruled for only three years before an Orc-arrow killed him while he rode against the enemy with the sons of Elrond, leaving a two-year-old heir who was hidden in Rivendell.
Guide of the Sun
Arien is a Maia of fire, once a servant of Vána among the golden flowers of Valinor, who was chosen to guide the vessel of the Sun made from the last fruit of Laurelin. Too bright to be looked upon, she has driven the Sun across the sky since the first sunrise and was feared even by Morgoth.
Bandobras Took, the Bullroarer, was the giant among hobbits who could ride a horse and who broke an Orc invasion at the Battle of Greenfields in T.A. 2747, knocking the head from the goblin-king Golfimbul. He was the only hobbit warrior of legend before the War of the Ring.
Innkeeper of the Prancing Pony
Barliman Butterbur was the fat, bustling and forgetful landlord of the Prancing Pony at Bree, whose failure to forward a letter from Gandalf nearly cost Frodo his life. Good-hearted for all his muddle, he sheltered the hobbits on the night the Black Riders came and welcomed them back a year later to a troubled Bree.
Guard of the Citadel, Third Company
Beregond, a Guard of the Citadel of Minas Tirith, befriended Pippin during the siege and left his post to save Faramir from Denethor's pyre, killing the porter of the tombs to do it. Judged by Aragorn, he was removed from the Guard and made Captain of the White Company, the guard of the Prince of Ithilien.
Bert, Tom and William Huggins were the three stone-trolls who caught Bilbo and the Dwarves in the Trollshaws in T.A. 2941 and were tricked by Gandalf into arguing until the sun rose and turned them to stone. Their cave yielded the swords Glamdring, Orcrist and Sting.
A half-starved pony bought from Bill Ferny at Bree, nursed back to strength by Sam Gamgee, and taken as the pack-beast of the Fellowship of the Ring as far as the West-gate of Moria. He found his own way home to Bree and was reunited with Sam a year later.
Lord of Brethil
Brandir the Lame, son of Handir, was the last lord of the House of Haleth in Brethil. A gentle man who preferred healing to war, he took in Túrin and later Níniel, whom he loved, and was slain by Túrin after telling him the truth of Nienor's death.
King of the Mark
Brego, son of Eorl the Young, was the second King of Rohan. He cleared the last Easterlings from the Wold and built the Golden Hall of Meduseld at Edoras, and at the feast for its completion his eldest son Baldor vowed to walk the Paths of the Dead and never returned. Brego died of grief the following year.
Lord of the House of Bëor
Bregolas was the elder son of Bregor and lord of the House of Bëor in Dorthonion at the breaking of the Siege of Angband. He fell in the Dagor Bragollach, and his sons Baragund and Belegund were the fathers of Morwen and Rían.
Lord of Thargelion
Caranthir the Dark, fourth son of Fëanor, was the harshest and quickest to anger of the brothers, lord of Thargelion beside Lake Helevorn. He grew rich in trade with the Dwarves, quarrelled with the house of Finarfin, took in the people of Haleth, and died in the sack of Doriath.
Captain of Ships
Castamir was the Captain of Ships of Gondor who led the Kin-strife, the rebellion of the pure-blooded lords against King Eldacar in 1437. He reigned ten years as a usurper, cruel and hated, before Eldacar returned with the Northmen and killed him at the Crossings of Erui. His sons' flight to Umbar founded the Corsairs.
Lady of Rivendell
Celebrían, daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn, married Elrond of Rivendell and bore him Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen. In T.A. 2509 she was captured and tormented by Orcs in the Redhorn Pass; though rescued by her sons and healed in body by Elrond, she could find no joy in Middle-earth and sailed into the West the following year.
Minstrel of Doriath
Daeron, minstrel and loremaster of Thingol's court, was the greatest of all Elven singers and the deviser of the Cirth, the runes later used by Dwarves and Men. He loved Lúthien, twice betrayed her to her father out of jealousy, and after she left the world he wandered into the East lamenting her and was never heard of again.
King of Khazad-dûm
Durin III was King of Khazad-dûm in the days of Eregion and, by the tradition of the Dwarves, received the first of the Seven Rings from Celebrimbor himself. He reigned when Sauron destroyed Eregion and the gates of Moria were shut.
Dwalin, younger brother of Balin, was the first Dwarf to arrive at Bag End and one of Thorin's thirteen companions on the quest of Erebor. He lived on at the Mountain into the Fourth Age and died at the age of three hundred and forty, the longest life recorded of any Dwarf after Durin the Deathless.
Lord of the House of the Fountain
Ecthelion of the Fountain was lord of one of the twelve houses of Gondolin and the warden of its Great Gate, a captain famous for the beauty of his voice and the music of his people's flutes. When the Hidden City was stormed he held the square before the king's tower against the Balrogs, and there he and Gothmog their lord destroyed each other.
Ruling Steward of Gondor
Ecthelion II, father of Denethor, was the wise and generous twenty-fifth Ruling Steward of Gondor, who strengthened the realm against the growing shadow and took many able men into his service. The most famous of them was Thorongil, the stranger from the North who was Aragorn in disguise.
Maid of Honour to Queen Arwen
Elanor the Fair, eldest child of Samwise and Rose, was born on the second anniversary of the Ring's destruction and named for the golden flower of Lórien. A maid of honour to Queen Arwen, she married Fastred of Greenholm, settled at the Undertowers, received the Red Book from her father and founded the Fairbairns who kept it.
Lords of Rivendell
Elladan and Elrohir, the twin sons of Elrond and Celebrían, rescued their mother from the Orcs and afterwards spent the Third Age hunting Orcs with the Rangers of the North. Companions of Aragorn, they brought him Elrond's counsel to take the Paths of the Dead and rode with him from Dunharrow to the Black Gate.
Lady of the House of Bëor
Emeldir the Man-hearted was the wife of Barahir and the mother of Beren. After the Dagor Bragollach she led the women and children of the House of Bëor out of Dorthonion over the mountains to safety, among them Morwen and Rían.
