Dear G; Tried to find you...

[burrahobbit]

If he was indeed never separated from Gil-Galad's side, it is hard to imagine that he would never have had to fight, or not carried a weapon as well as a trumpet or banner.

Unless Gil-Galad's banner is topped with a spearhead, I don't see how he could have had enough hands for that.

While it may not be in character for him to have boasted about the single orc he killed thousands of years ago, I find it equally out of character to have killed that orc to begin with.
