Éomer

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

A cavalry commander who disobeys his king to do what is right — fierce in battle and fiercely loyal, he fights through grief and exile to become the king Rohan needs when Théoden falls.

Also known as: Éomer, Éomer King, Third Marshal of the Mark, Lord of the Riddermark

What They Know

• Commanded the éored that destroyed the Uruk-hai column at Fangorn — left no survivors but found no Hobbits among the dead
• Gríma engineered his exile to leave Rohan leaderless — Éomer recognized the conspiracy but could not prove it in court
• Rohirric cavalry tactics rely on the open charge — Éomer knows every ford, ridge, and plain in the Mark
• Théodred's death at the Fords of Isen left a gap in Rohan's western defense that has not been filled
• The Rohirrim breed the Mearas — horses of near-supernatural intelligence and speed descended from Shadowfax's line
• He gave Aragorn horses on trust alone — a decision that broke the law but followed his instincts correctly
