History: Galadîr was born on April 9 of the 241st year of the Third Age, the eldest son of a warrior and his wife. His childhood, while peaceful, consisted of intense martial training, something that he did not enjoy. Eventually he would fall in love with Elhadron, a warrior who lived near him. However, in T.A 1094, tragedy would strike. His sister Elegil was out riding when she was killed by a band of orcs. Pelinelben was furious, and led a battalion out to find the orcs. He managed to kill them with the rest of his group, but Pelinelben was killed in the process. When Oreldes found out, her heart was broken, and she sailed into Valinor. His two brothers eventually wed their husbands. Then, the Battle of the Five Armies came, and the two were sent to Lake-town to battle the Dwarven armies. To say that Galadîr was cynical about it was putting it both mildly and politely. Fighting over a bunch of jewels? What was the point in it? To make yourself richer? To try and prove how greedy you were? By preparing to kill other people simply because you wanted money? The land and earth and seas were more important than any sort of money anyone could have. He begrudgingly went to prepare for war for King Thranduil, regardless of how he felt. When he realized that the orcs were there, though, he realized just how serious this battle would be. Fighting alongside Elhadron and his fellow soldiers, Galadîr helped kill as many orcs as he could as vengeance for his sister and his parents. Now that the two elves have travelled back, they plan on marrying soon.
