Fastred of Sutcorfts

Fastred is Rohir Reeve who is the son of Dagred and Swanhild. Married to Elflád, he is the father of Folcred. Having come to power when his father fell to an Orkish arrow, Fastred believes that fighting the enemies of Rohan is noblest of all pursuits and dying in combat is the most honorable end. Stubborn as he is brave, he has refused to follow Éomer's orders to evacuate the defenseless from his lands.
