Members You need to Know about the Rings of Power & Lord of the Rings

In this article, we will talk about the main characters of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, which is based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien and directed by Peter Jackson. The first part of the trilogy was released back in 2001, and it is called The Fellowship of the Ring. What are the main characters in The Lord of the Rings or The Return of the King? Get to know more about the characters of this epic movie trilogy.

Knowing about the characters of The Lord of the Rings and knowing about the different ways in which they are represented in the book can be very helpful. The characters have been described in a way that it makes them seem real. They are unique and different from each other. Let us look at some of the most important characters of Rings of Power & Lord of the Rings:

Galadriel

If you've watched The Lord of The Rings trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson, you might be familiar with Galadriel's character. This elf was one of the critical characters of the story, and young Cate Blanchett played her in the movie. She was an ethereal ruler who welcomed the fellowship. In the series, The Rings of Power, we've Galadriel, who is much younger than the character in the movie. And this is a very different one from the film. She's a ferocious warrior searching for Sauron after her brother's death.

Elrond

Elrond is another familiar character in the series. He's the future chief of Rivendell. Hugo Weaving played the character of this half-elf in Peter Jackson's The Lord of The Rings. Elrond is a young politician usually out of important decisions and discussions because he hasn't become a lord yet. However, he soon gets on another mission in which he has to help Celebrimbor.

Gil-Galad

Gil-galad is the legendary elf king who rules the Kingdom of Lindon. He's a level-headed king who believes Middle-earth should go for peace instead of hunting out the evil like Galadriel thinks. Also, if something is not correct or if there's something dark threatening his Kingdom, he senses it immediately. People who have watched or read The Lord of the Rings would be familiar with his name since there's a song in the movie called 'The Fall of Gil-galad,' which tells his peculiar story.

Celebrimbor

Smith Celebrimbor is the legendary elven who plays one of the most critical roles in The Rings of Power. He's first introduced in the series while having a meeting with Elrond. The meeting was about joining the young politician Elrond in the ambitious plan of Smith Celebrimbor.

Arondir

Unlike the elves we've been talking about so far, Arondir doesn't come under the influential leaders of Lindon. Instead, he is one of the Silvan elf soldiers in the Southlands. It is described in The Hobbit that Silvanus is a bit different from High Elves as they're less wise and more dangerous. The race between High Elves and Silvanus was mentioned, but the character of Arondir was explicitly created for the series only.

Elves have been stationed in Southlands in order to keep an eye on the people living in the Kingdom after they federated with Morgoth in the First Age.

Elanor Brandyfoot

The Harfoots of Middle-earth is a series of books that tells the story of the Harfoots and their life in Middle-earth. It is a history book, set during the events of The Lord of the Rings. The first volume of the series, The Harfoots of the North, covers the history up to the events of The Lord of the Rings. The second volume, The Harfoots of the South, continues their story from the end of The Lord of the Rings to their final fate in later ages.

Unlike Elves and Silvanus, Elanor is the Harfoots. They're the early predecessors who roam with the seasons. Though they were only mentioned a little in the movie, the series has made them one of the central parts of the story. Thus, all the characters of Harfoots are the show's creation only. The most crucial member of Harfoots is Elanor. She always looks for some new adventure and finds herself in trouble. Her eyes are fixed on the sky; she constantly wonders if there's another life up there. And when she finds out about a mysterious man who is believed to have come from a meteor, it's like she got what she wanted.

Poppy Proudfellow

Poppy is known to be the best friend of Elanor, who mostly gets pulled into her adventures. She has to follow all the ill-advised adventures of her pal. That means she also knows about the mysterious man. While keeping this a secret, they team up to discover who he actually is. However, Poppy is a totally new character that has never been present in any of the books.

Sadoc Burrows

Sadoc Burrows is one of the eldest members of the Harfoots who keeps an eye on wanderers who are always around their home. There's a lot of mystery about his character. However, he's considered to be the eyes and ears of the group. He observes everything and plots all the migrations for the group. This is also the pure creation of the series, with nothing mentioned in the text.

Durin IV

Khazad-Dum is the home of the Dwarven realm in the second age. After that, it fell into pieces. In the series, the Kingdom is ruled by Durin III, and he is sustained by his son Durin IV. He's burdened with a lot of responsibilities in terms of protecting their realm and keeping it thriving. The book mentions the Dwarven Kingdom quite well; however, their exact antics have been touched on in the series.

Disa

Durin IV's wife lives in Khazad-dum with her husband and children. She's one of the first female dwarfs ever mentioned in the series. She's also known for her beautiful voice, which you must have heard in the show's trailer. Disa is also one of the characters created purely for the series only, unlike her husband's character.
