Helcamá ("Icy hand";S."Helegmaw") was a smith of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain. He originally worked in the glass smithies and then in the High Jewel works. Helcamá was also the oldest elf of Amon Lind, being born soon after the Noldor entered Middle-earth on their journey into exile. He was very good at his work and particularly liked working with laen. He constructed all the laen fixtures for the keep and had a small cold forge in the smithy that he used to occupy his time. His sculptures were magnificent and priceless to the right buyer. He was hopelessly in love with Teletasarë, which was the main reason for his leaving Ost-in-Edhil. She was not aware of his love for her but would probably return it if she knew. Helcamá had a running argument with Teletasarë's brother, Elenril, about which is more important in the improvement of an army, the soldier or his weaponry. Elenril argued that in order to improve a fighting force, one had first to improve the soldier, and Helcamá was of the opinion that given the right weapon any soldier woul do well. Helcamá realized that Elenril was probably right, but he would not admit it because he didn't like Elenril's idea of soldier improvement.
Helcamá was short for a Noldo (6' 2"), but he made up for his lack of height in musculature. He was very broad shouldered and stockily built. Faemîr said he was really a tall beardless Dwarf, much to Helkama's dislike. He had brown hair, very dark green eyes, and was very pale, his skin being almost translucent. Helcamá personally did not like to fight and only wore his sword when out of the keep or when going into combat. His sword, Elenrûth, was obtained from his father and Helcamá reforged it to his liking. It was a weapon made of silver/gray laen .
