Legolas

Sindarin elf of the woodland realm, in the year 3019, Legolas journeyed to Rivendell to sit on the Council of Elrond, and was chosen to represent the Elves in the Fellowship. In Lorien, Legolas and Gimli became close friends, a friendship that lasted the rest of their lives. Legolas' keen sight and archery skills were his greatest asset to the Fellowship. After the Breaking of the Fellowship, Legolas went with Gimli and Aragorn in search of Merry and Pippin, and fought in the battle of Hornburg. He eventually went to Gondor, and fought in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields; while in Gondor, he had his first glimpse of the sea, and was overcome by a deep desire to sail from that moment on. After the War of the Ring, he journeyed with Gimli to visit the Glittering Caves and Fangorn Forest. In the Year 120 FO, after the death of Aragorn, Legolas sailed over the sea, taking Gimli the dwarf with him, the last of the Fellowship. Legolas an elf that is loyal to his land the ones that he believes in,imensely close to Gimli and Aragorn although at first he may not have been. Legolas doesn't speak a lot--he prefers to let his actions speak for him. Professor Tolkien never specified Legolas' age, it is one of the mysteries like the identity of Tom Bombadil. Interesting bit information which Bill-the-pony spotted first: Aragorn was born in the year 2931 of the Third Age, Peter Jackson had a crack at Legolas' age and put it at 2931 years. :) That makes him a little older than Arwen, filmwise. However, I think because of what prof. Tolkien insinuated, that Legolas is much older than that. Legolas is a Mirkwood Elf, whose weapons are bow and arrow. He also has a single knife with a white handle. He is very loyal to a fault, knows what he wants and an excellent warrior to defend the people of many different faults.
