Findegil was a Royal Scribe of King Eldarion (the only son of Aragorn and Arwen), the second King of the Reunited Kingdom. As a King's Writer, he drafted a copy of the Red Book of Westmarch for the Thain of the Shire in F. A. 172 (Shire Reckoning 1592). This work was presented to Peregrin Took's descendants during a special ceremony and was then kept in the Great Smials. It was a copy of the Thain's Book from Gondor, which was in turn a copy of the original work by Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam.
Findegil was a dedicated linguist and Scholar of the eldarin languages and was known for his snappy remarks in his commentaries on gondorian Placenames.
