I wish he had written more about Cirdan too. So we could know how old he is and such. I bet that's one elf who's lived an exciting life.

But I bet the same thing applies to him that seems to apply to all the elves: If you havn't made a major mistake (kinslaying, rings, ect.) or are related to somebody who has, we don't see much of you (at least in LotR and Sil, in TH we did see Thranduil).

Since the wise are less likely to make mistakes (by my definition of wise, which excludes Elrond and Galadriel - genusies, yes; wise, no) we learn less about them.
