Characters that are often overlooked. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The sons of Feanor who were still unmarried at the time of the oath probably stayed single, I doubt any self-respecting elf-woman would go a bundle on a chap with that deadly promise hanging like an albatross round his neck.

Gil-galad's mother is VERY overlooked. We don't even know her name.

Imladris, ahhh, true, even as another member of the Fellowship Legolas is thought of as...I don't know how to describe it, maybe "insignificant."

Well I always thought that Legolas was viewed as some kind of preety boy.But I think the most overlooked character is Anarion.

Isildur and Elendil are often talked about because they were related with the ring ,though Elendil was'nt.But Anarion was not even mentioned in LOTR except that some part about him being killed by a stone from Barad-Dur, I think that he was as good as Elendil and Isildur. Is their any piece of information about Anarion in JRR's books ??

Following that train of thought, what about Fingolfin's wife? We don't know her name, either. Or Legolas' mother. Or Olwë's wife.

Ruts, I believe Anarion's helm that was crushed from the stone from Barad-dur was used as the first Helm for the king's of Gondor. However, I will have to check up on that.

What about that orc-chieftan in Moria that stabbed Frodo?

If it weren't for the mithril....

And didn't he, on the way to his target, knock down Boromir and dodge Aragorn's swing? He sounded pretty beastly. And when Aragorn brought his sword down on the orc-chieftan's head wasn't there like a mini-explosion or something?

Who was that orc?
