Where as I was stuck thinking of elves as first arrivals.

So was I; I think I thought of Dwalin a while ago, but couldn't find the letters for it.
Here goes, then: Ladykiller loses a certain ambiance: a tautological carrier, he?

I think this one is Lotho Sackville-Baggins
Ladykiller loses a certain ambiance: lothario - air = Lotho a tautological carrier, he: Sackville-Baggins is a hyphenated compound of two words meaning the same thing, both bag related, hence tautological carrier.

Have a go at this one
Flight without goal might end at the top or bottom

Just wondering if this might be The Winding Stair.
Having first pondered whether there were elvish names for things like the Flight of the Noldor, the idea of flight referring to stairs has just occurred to me. Could "winding" sort of mean without a goal? Stairs can end at the top or the bottom. Or even both.

Not that, I'm afraid. 'Winding' for 'without goal' is a bit of a reach.
