Elrond Half-elven

Character from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

A six-thousand-year-old healer who has spent three ages watching the mistakes of Men and Elves repeat — now he must let his daughter choose mortality and trust the very bloodline that failed at Mount Doom.

Also known as: Elrond, Elrond Half-elven, Lord of Rivendell, Master Elrond, Elrond Peredhel

What They Know

• Bears Vilya, the mightiest of the Three Elven Rings, which sustains Rivendell as a haven of peace and healing
• Was present at the Battle of the Last Alliance and personally witnessed Isildur's refusal to destroy the One Ring
• His brother Elros chose mortality and became the first King of Númenor — Aragorn is his distant descendant
• Rivendell's healing arts can cure Morgul-wounds and poison that no mortal physician could treat
• The Three Elven Rings were never touched by Sauron's hand — they preserve and protect rather than dominate
• If the One Ring is destroyed, Vilya's power will fail and Rivendell will become just another valley
• He has foreseen multiple possible futures and carries the burden of knowing which decisions lead to which endings
• Arwen's choice to become mortal will separate them forever — unlike mortal death, an Elf who dies goes to Mandos, but a mortal-choosing Elf follows the fate of Men into the unknown
