Don't show your ignorance. Either listen to those who know or read about him yourself and make up your own mind.

Well, some of us have read about Chrys. Both Tolkien's version and the REB version. It is charicatures who can best be parodied, as
Kuru so ably demonstrated, so enough of this noble character stuff, complex and fascinating.
Besides, I cannot decide who is more boring--Elbereth or Thorondor.
