Glorfindel was born sometime in the year of trees, assumed to be of royal lineage. He was part of the Host of Turgon, but merely followed him because they were related. He also took no place in the kinslaying of Alqualondë. Sadly after the exile of the Noldor, he became obscure in history...

Glorfindel, from the beginning, appeared as a Noble Lord who served the King Turgon well as one of his chief leuteniants. He was the Lord of the House of the Golden Flower in Gondolin, and fought valiantly during the Fall of Gondolin. Glorfindel and many other notable elves escaped through the encircling mountains, but were ambushed my many enemies, including a great Balrog of Morgoth. Glorfindel dueled the Balrog himself, but fell after killing it, some assuming he was killed in much the same way Gandalf the Grey was. (Note that after this, Glorfindel and the Balrog was a saying meaning that the person complimented with it was a brave warrior.)

His spirit wandered the Halls of Mandos for the remnant of the First Age and through the Second Age, but in the Third Age he was sent on a mission similar to the Istari to help save Middle Earth, gaining powers equal to the Nazgul themselves.

From this point there is no relation to the First Age, but I will put his Third Age history anyways.

He went on to serve in Rivendell under Elrond. He was the one who prophecied that, "No man can kill him," refering to the Witch King of course.

He helped the Fellowship by saving Frodo and getting him to Rivendell, and participating in the Council of Elrond, but there ends his true history. After the War of the Ring like most Elves he sailed to Valinor, heart aching as most elves' hearts were, for they would never return to their beautiful homeland of Middle Earth...

Rp/Lore Experience: I've read the Silmarillion, the Hobbit, all three LotR books, and the Unfinished Tales, and am about to read some of the newer books. I also have been Glorfindel before and certainly know how to rp him.

Thanks for reading! Hope you accept!
