Haldirorodlin


Haldir (F.A. 420 - 488) was the the eldest son of Orodreth, and the older sibling of Gil-Galad and Finduilas. While his childhood is little-known, it is accounted that in young adulthood, he was trapped and hung to a tree by Orcs.

Notes[]

  • The name Haldir was changed from Halmir in the later stages of the writing.
  • Haldir could have been a missing link as an ancestor of Gildor Inglorion, if he already had fathered a child, possibly Gildors grandmother, at an by elven standards uncommon young age.

Other Names[]

  • Orodlin (also possibly a predecessor of Gil-Galad)
