Sindarin Elf of the Woodland Realm, son of Thranduil. In TA 3019 Legolas went
to Rivendell as a messenger and took part in the Council of Elrond. He then
became one of the Companions of the Ring, representing the Elves. In Lórien
Legolas became very friendly with Gimli, a friendship which was maintained for
the rest of their lives. After the breaking of the Fellowship, Legolas went with
Aragorn and Gimli in search of Merry and Pippin, and fought in the Battle of the
Hornburg. He was one of the Grey Company, and fought in the Battle of the
Pelennor Fields. While in southern Gondor Legolas for the first time saw the sea,
and the Eldarin yearning for Eldamar was awakened in him.
After the War of the Ring Legolas led a number of Elves of the Woodland Realm
to Ithilien, where they beautified the warravaged land. In FO 120, after the death
of Elessar, Legolas finally sailed over Sea, taking Gimli with him.
