Haldir of Lorien was an Elf. He
was the Fellowship’s first guide through the realm of Galadriel. We first
encounter him in The Fellowship of the Ring, but he makes another
appearance in The Two Towers, where he is the head of the Elf-longbowmen
who are sent by Galadriel to help Men defend Helm’s Deep. Haldir dies a
valiant death at the hands of an Orc.
