Gimilkhâd

Also known as Telemírion, Gimilkhâd' was the  younger son of Ar-Gimilzor and Inzilbeth and  the younger brother of King Tar-Palantir of Númenór. His father preferred him as a successor, but law forbade the succession of a second child without the blessing of the first child. Cruel but exceedingly skilled, he commanded the King's Men during his brother's reign. His faction continued to advance the policies of persecution of the Elf-friends and separation from the Eldar and their ways, despite Tar-Palantir's efforts to reverse the trend and protect the Faithful. Gimilkhâd's early death preceded that of the King's, though, so the Faithful enjoyed a brief era of safety and prosperity. This respite ended when Tar-Palantir died and Gimilkhâd's oldest son, Ar-Pharazon, seized the throne of Númenor(as well as Tar-Palantir's wife).
