Name: Imrahil

Gender: Male

Weapons and equipment: An ancient Numenorean longsword and shield as well as an Avari bow. The sword was forged with the blood of a cold drake, and those who are hit with it burn as if with fire and fall into a dark swoon. The shield is a round buckler, strong but light, black with the golden eagle of Numenor painted upon it. The bow is exceedingly strong, and has great range, being topped only by the bows of the Galadrhim. All three once belonged to Herendil an ancient Numenorean hero, and were found by Imrahil deep within the archives of Tirith Aear.

Location they are in at the moment: Watering his horse few hundred yards downstream from where Edacnik fell in

Personality: Wise, though not quick thinking, charismatic, though not friendly. He was once a very happy and jovial man, but now his life has been torn apart by this cursed war, and he is a grim and depressed.

Story: I know that this wasn't on the template, but  I think it's important that you know Imrahil's backstory.

Imrahil was a brave captain, third-in-command of all Gondor. But when he went with Aragorn and Gandalf to the Great Disaster of Morannon he was the only man to escape. Taking all that was left of his Swan-knights, he threw them against the Westward side of the enemy's encircling forces. Luck was with them, and they drove through the orcs like a wedge, and Imrahil cut a path of escape through his foes with five of his kights surviving. But the Haradrim archers fired a mighty volley of arrows, hitting all four of his comrads. He could do nothing else but abandon the field and run westward. Arriving at Minas Tirith, via Cair Andros, it was Imrahil that arranged the last stand of Gondor. Gathering all that was left of Gondor's armies to Minas Tirith, he met a great defeat in the Second Battle of Pelannor Fields. Taking the survivors, he stationed them at Pelgir where he met another crushing defeat. For a long time, this one-sided war against was waged, until, cornered at Dol Amroth itself, The Enemy delivered Imrahil a defeat so crushing that Gondor never rose against Sauron again. Imrahil's entire family was killed in that battle, with the exception of his firstborn son, Elphir. Imrahil himself only escaped by throwing himself from Tirith Aear into the water, and swimming to the shore where no enemies where encamped. Taking with him Elphir and his squire Travian, they traveled North through Rohan and into Lothlorien, where he met Idril Cal'endurë, an elven maiden. Imrahil loved Idril deeply, and one romantic evening, they even shared a kiss upon the hill of Cirith Amroth. But duty called, and, much to the dismay of Idril, Imrahil headed south again and fought against the Uruk-hai. For two years he fought with the remains of Rohan, until, having met defeat after crushing defeat, he now goes back North with Travian and Elphir to visit Lothlorien again. He claims he wants to go there to help the elves fight Dol Guldor, but Elphir and Travian know he has an ulterior motive in the form of a beautiful elven queen. ..

Appearance: Imrahil is a tall and fair man, though worn from many years of fighting. He has sea-grey exes, brown hair, and partial elf ears. He wears a set of ancient Numenorean armour, an heirloom of Dol Amroth that was passed, father to son, from Imrazor to himself. He also wears a bloody, battle-worn, and tattered blue cloak with the emblem of a white swan. This cloak was made by his mother, and he has worn it into every battle he's been in: from skirmishes with Corisairs when he was young, to the Battle of the Wold when he made a brave stand against the Uruk-hai, this cloak has been with him always. His helm is the royal helm of Dol Amroth, being shaped like a lofty crown.

Weaknesses: Imrahil still lives in the past, constantly dreaming of his lost city, wondering if he could have saved it, wishing things had been different. He often daydreams about it. This causes Imrahil to be a distant, bitter, and unforgiving person. Also, Imrahil is extremely attached to Idril which is bound to spark trouble when he finds out about Edacnik. But until then he is simply a grim but proud freedom fighter that has lost everything in this war, who is fearless and valiant.

Anything else: Imrahil travels with his squire Travian and his firstborn son Elphir. Travian and Elphir are both about 17 and are well built young men that Imrahil loves dearly. Also, Imrahil has a backpack with a number of contents: lots of lembas bread, a Gondorian dagger, some extra changes of clothing, an elven hunting knife, and a few other items as well as a Dol Amroth banner: sea blue with a silver swan and a silver galleon. The banner used to fly high above Tirith Aear, but knowing his defeat was near, he took it with him ere he fled from Dol Amroth. It is a very prized possession of his, being all he has to remember Dol Amroth by. When he holds the finely gilded banner in his hands, he can almost hear the sea-gulls crying while flying high above his court, and the elven trumpets braying. He can almost see the fair ports, the white towers, and the legions of swan-knights, brave and well-armed. But those days are now long past, with no hope of returning. ..
