The Complete Travels of Glorfindel | Tolkien Explained
18,445Glorfindel is not only a fan-favorite character, but also one of the most powerful elves to ever walk Middle-earth. Today, we cover his entire life - his birth in Valinor, his fatal fight against a balrog in Gondolin, and his reincarnation by the Valar. After he re-embodied, he is sent back to Second Age Middle-earth, as an emissary to help the elves of Eriador in their fight against Sauron. Eventually, we would meet him again as he helps Frodo get to Rivendell, and takes on five Ringwraiths single-handedly!
