.The Facade.
Character Name: Landroval
Name Meaning: His name in Sindarin means "broad winged"
Age: Over 6000 years old
Date of Birth: Landroval has lived since the First Age
Race: Great Eagle
Residence: While Landroval nests at times with his kindred and brother Gwaihir in the Northern reaches of the Misty Mountains, he is prone to fly long distances in search of beasts to feast upon and to scout or harass enemies of the Free-Peoples as he sees fit.
Profession: One of the 15 Chieftains of Gwaihir.
Personality: Landroval is one of the proudest Eagles of the North, and his disposition shows in his behaviour. While he acts amicable towards his own kind, the Noldor and those few who have earned his respect, his tone is more arrogant against others in conversation. His loyalty lays almost always with his brother Gwaihir, who Landroval follows always in the end, even though the two have had minor disagreements in the past. While Landroval find himself above most other inhabitants of Middle-Earth, he has always been among the first to take flight if a battle needs to be had or the enemy could be hindered in any way or shape by his kindred. He is known to hunt wherever it pleases him, and he is known to be a picky eater, often leaving undesirable prey be.
Parents: A descendant of Thorondor.
Sibling(s): Brother to Gwaihir
Spouse: Landroval's mate perished in the Battle of the Five Armies, and since than he has taken no spouse (yet).
Children: A reasonable number of Eaglets considering his age.

History:
Landroval was a vassal under Thorondor in the First Age and fought the forces of Morgoth when it was required of him. Landroval claims that it was he who bore Lüthien on his back when she and Beren were saved by the Eagles from Angband, a given that has caused him to be utterly reluctant to bear anyone else on his back and taking those who need flight with his talons. During the Second Age, Landroval took a spouse of his own and remained more near the eyries of his people to be more near his wife and children, who he was overprotective of for even the standards of the great Eagles. Landroval was one of the eagles that helped save Thorin & Company, taking one of the dwarves within his talons. Afterwards, Landroval and his spouse participated in the Battle of the Five Armies, in which his spouse perished by the bows of the goblins when she became separated from the rest of the eagles in the heat of battle. When Landroval learned of this after the battle, Landroval remained away from the eyries for 2 months until he was certain that he had hunted down every goblin that still dared to remain above ground. Ever since that day, Landroval has been one of the most vocal eagles in hunting down the servants of the enemy and aiding the Free-Folk of Middle-earth.
