2nd in command to sauron

[Telchar]

Squatter, just to be a real pain in the .... BUT:

As for Elrond, he was not a herald but Gil-Galad's standard bearer

Elrond himself claims:

I was the herald of Gil-galad and marched with his host. I was at the Battle of Dagorlad before the Black Gate of Mordor, where we had the mastery: for the Spear of Gil-galad and the Sword of Elendil, Aiglos and Narsil, none could withstand.

Both Eonwe and Elrond are described in the texts as being both herald and banner-bearer.
