Celeborn.

He's just so...down to (Middle-)earth. A lot of people don't like him, I can't really understand that but oh-well.

I mean, he was the Prince of Doriath, he married Artanis, Finarfin's Daughter and was probably openly shunned by his people for it because of the Kinslayings. He ruled Eregion and remained behind after Galadriel ran away to look ater the place, He ruled Lorien, and you can say what you like about that but it doesn't change the fact that the Galadhrim report to him and not to Galadriel, and then there were several other settlements, Dol Amroth etc. So he's obviously a good leader.

He survived at least two Kinslayings (this depends on whether you go by the published Silmarillion or by Tolkien's later idea that he was of the Teleri, not the Sindar), The War of Wrath, The Last Alliance and led the battle against the Orcs with Thranduil during the Ring War. If he hadn't done so another army of orcs from Mordor and Isengard would have blind-sided the Pelennor and wiped out everyone there. He destroyed Dol Guldor, began another settlement, East Lorien, and remained after Galadriel left. *shakes head* The guy was no lap dog, people!

*reads* Woah...OTT, fangirl defense...shutting up now.
