One of the Peredhil, the son of Eärendil and Elwing and brother of Elros. Born in Arvernien, Elrond was captured by the sons of Fëanor when they attacked Arvernien to recover the Silmaril. He was befriended by Maglor and may have fought in the Great Battle. At the end of the First Age the Valar allowed Elrond to choose his race; he decided to join the Elven-kind, and was made an Eldarin lord of great power and penetrating wisdom.
Elrond dwelt in Lindon with Gil-Galad until SA 1695, when he was sent by the latter to Eregion to aid in the defense of that realm against Sauron. When Eregion was overrun in 1697, Elrond fled with the surviving Noldor and founded Imladris (Rivendell), which became, especially after the fall of Gil-Galad, one of the greatest Elven refuges in Middle-earth. During the war of the Last Alliance, Elrond was Gil-Galad's herald and stood by him when he fell.
In TA 100 Elrond married Celebrían, the daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn; their children were Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen. Throughout the Third Age Elrond gave aid and counsel to the Dúnedain of the North, first military aid for the protection of Arnor and Arthedain and later shelter for the Dúnedain, especially the Line of Isildur, his distant nephews. At the end of the Third Age Elrond departed over Sea with the Last Riding of the Keepers of the Rings.
Elrond bore the greatest of the Three Rings, Vilya, which he was given by Gil-Galad. He was known as Elrond Half-elven and Master Elrond.
