Hirgon the Errand-Rider



A Dunadan Scout, Hirgon was the chief messenger of the Steward Denethor II of Gondor during the War of the Ring. He was the envoy who delivered the Red Arrow, the symbol of Gondor's need, to King Theoden Ednew of Rohan. Orcs slew and beheaded Hirgon during his attempt to return home.
