Haldir, R�mil, and Orophin of Lothl�rien
*the Elf on the left is Orophin, in the middle is Haldir, and R�mil is on the right*

These three Elves are brothers, and are some of my favorites. They are Silvan Elves from Lothl�rien, and are border guards. They intercepted the Fellowship on the border of Lothl�rien and escorted them safely to Caras Galadhon. Of the trio of brothers, only Haldir speaks the most Common Tongue, for he has gone abroad to gather news and on other errands.

In the movie of
The Two Towers, Haldir is shown arriving at Helm's Deep with a large group of Elves, and they fight alongside Th�oden and the Men. Haldir says: "I bring word from Elrond of Rivendell. An alliance once existed between Men and Elves. Long ago, we fought and died together. We come to honor that allegiance." Furthermore, Haldir is slain, sadly.This differs from J.R.R. Tolkien's original work. Haldir and his brothers are only mentioned in The Fellowship of the Ring. And their roles are very small. Haldir does not die. He lives.
