Quote:
The host is an extremely powerful and ancient Elf: one of Celeborn's longest serving retainers from out of Doriath. He is proud and 'fey': he has little respect for Men, save, perhaps Aragorn, and none for the other peoples of Middle-Earth. The only thing that keeps him from taking a ship into the West is his loyalty to Celeborn and his respectful love, bordering on adoration, for the Lady Galadriel. He is in command of the border patrol that is attacked by orcs. In and amongst this attack, the Houseless fea of his brother comes to him to plead for admission. His brother was killed by a balrog in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad so even though the host is well aware of the dangers, he is unable to say no. At first, the 'merger' is a happy one as the Houseless is able to convince the host that his presence will allow them to travel with the orcs to Dol Guldur where they can see what preparations are being made against Lorien. But slowly the Houseless gains more and more control and it is only by the greatest act of will, and with the aid of his companions from Lorien who have followed him, that the host escapes.
The Houseless then flees into the body of an Easterling (gotta love them) and the host takes it as his duty to slay the Easterling host so that he can 'free' his brother's fea. He hopes that there is something Galadriel will be able to do to give his brother peace, at long last.

You will need to give me a well thought out explanation of why the Ancient Elf/Host’s brother had decided to refuse the call of Mandos after his death at the hands of the balrog and now wanders as a Houseless fëa. What makes him so different from his brother - who I’m sure would never refuse Mandos’ call should his body die?
And why would the presence of this Houseless Brother in the Ancient Elf’s body allow them to travel with the orcs to Dol Guldur?
Whose influence is the Houseless Brother's fëa under? Sauron?
And what do you have in mind for Galadriel’s intervention?
