Meneldir

Meneldir, Captain of the Guard of Bree, is a man of Fornost, of Dúnedain and lesser mannish parentage. He comes from a good family, although he is not a member of the nobility. Meneldir is a fighter and has seen quite a bit of action against Angmar.His command in Bree is actually one of semi-retirement, since he has already put in twenty-five years of military service. He is only forty-five, which is still young for a man of Dúnadan blood. Meneldir loves farming and is planning a permanent retirement in Bree. He is courting Holly Heathertoes and can be found on the Heathertoe farm most evenings, where he's welcomed as part of the family. Meneldir is universally liked and respected by his men and the people of Breeland. Bree-land is comparatively quiet, but Meneldir has many duties. Not only is he responsible for pat rolling the region, but he must alsokeep a constant watch for outlaws and other unsavory types. Travellers of all sorts pass through Bree, some more honest than others, and a few are inclined to cause trouble outside the town's borders. Meneldir regularly sends patrols out along both roads in the vicinity of Bree in an effort to discourage bandits.Meneldir has in fact urged travellers from the East to mention Rhovanion as the land of opportunity for eager youths, should the topic of their travels arise in the inn's common room. Meneldir sincerely hopes that some of Len Broadleaf's sons will find the talk irresistable. The Captain of the Guard also hopes, along with the remainder of Bree-land, that the next generation of Broadleafs will be, if nothing else, less prolific.
