Favorite character that's not a main character. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I dunno if Faramir would be considered a non-main character.

I quite love Bergil and Beregond. They both make me laugh out loud while I read.

I also seem to like Thingol, the elf King of Doriath.

Please refresh my memory. Who if Beregond?

Beregond was a Gondorian soldier who served under Denethor. He was the one who showed Pippin around Minas Tirith and had many conversations with him. It was also he who helped Pippin save Faramir from being burned alive. His son was Bergil, a little boy, I don't remember of what age.

My favorite minor character? I would say, aside from Imrahil and Beregond who are obvious choices and rank amongst my favorite minors, it would be Erkenbrand of Rohan as well as Elladan and Elrohir. I always liked Elrohir a little better for some reason, although I don't know why. I love Erkenbrand's heroic rescue during the battle of Helm's Deep, and the Sons of Elrond are awesome in their never ending fight against Sauron. I also love how they have a personal vendetta with the Dark Lord and his minions because of what they did to their mother. It's great too, speculating what their fates were after the destruction of the Ring.

My belief is that they left with Cirdan on the last ship.

Ten, I think, but don't quote me on that.

I guess I'll have to be boring and go for Beregond, or Háma. As for others, I find Erkenbrand a lovely character (or maybe it's just the situation where he first appears in Helm's Deep...). Also Círdan the shipwright strikes me as awesome. And, for some reason, the messenger from Gondor who brings Théoden the red arrow. Does Bill the pony count?

Sure Bill counts! He was almost a talking character, and had he stayed in Rivendel much longer, he would have been!

I also like Ingold, the soldier stationed at the outpost of Minas Tirith who speaks to Gandalf and Pippin at their arrival- he plays a small part, but I like him. I neglected to put Háma before, but he is great as well. I think it's really cool that Tolkien gave him his own little funeral scene. It showed Háma's great valour.
