Elrond

Elrond Half-elven is a central figure in Middle-earth who serves as the master of Rivendell, a home he has occupied for thousands of years throughout the Second and Third Ages. Born to parents Eärendil and Elwing, he possesses a lineage that includes both Men and Elves. As a powerful leader, he is the bearer of Vilya, the Ring of Air.

His long history includes serving as a herald to the Elf-king Gil-galad during the conclusion of the Second Age. During this time, he witnessed the conflict between Gil-galad and King Elendil against the Dark Lord Sauron for the One Ring, as well as the moment when Elendil’s son, Isildur, chose to claim the ring instead of destroying it.
