Halmir of Brethil

Halmir was the son of Haldan and the fourth Adan to serve as Lord of the Second House in Brethil. He joined with Beleg of Doriath and destroyed the Orc-horde that invaded Beleriand through the Pass of Sirion (after the fall of Tol Sirion) during the days following the Battle of Sudden Flame. Halmir later joined the Union of Maedhros, but it was his son Haldir that led the people of Haleth during the Fifth Battle with Morgoth (the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, or "Battle of Un- numbered Tears"). Haldir was the older brother of Halmir's only daughter, Hareth, who married Galdor of the Third House.
