For instance, Elrond was one of the Elves created by Illuvatar at the Begginning of the world, and he is still alive.

Elrond was the
SON of Earendil and Elwing, who at the end of the First Age chose to belong to the Firstborn, and remained in Middle-Earth until the end of the Third Age. Oh by the way Elrond was half-elven.

Whereas the Elves remain until the end of days, and their love of the Earth and all the World is more single and more poignant therefore, and as the years lengthen ever more sorrowful. For the Elves die not till the world dies, unless they are slain or waste in grief (and to both these seeming deaths they are subject); neither does age subdue their strength, unless one grow weary of ten thousand centuries; and dying they are gathered to the halls of Mandos in Valinor, whence they may in time return.
