Legolas
Fictional history
Legolas is introduced at the Council of Elrond in Rivendell, where he came as a messenger from his father to discuss Gollum's escape from their guard. Legolas was chosen to be a member of the Fellowship of the Ring, charged with destroying the One Ring. He accompanied the other members in their travels from Rivendell to Amon Hen, serving as the company's archer. When the fellowship was trapped by a snowstorm while crossing the Misty Mountains, Legolas scouted ahead, running lightly over the snow, and told Aragorn and Boromir that the thick snow they were trying to push through was only a narrow wall. Back in the lowlands of Hollin, Legolas helped fend off an attack by Saruman's wolves. Gandalf then led the fellowship on a journey underground through Moria. In Moria, Legolas helped fight off orcs and recognized "Durin's Bane" as a Balrog. After Gandalf's death, Aragorn led the Fellowship to the Elven realm of Lothlórien. Legolas spoke to the elf-sentries there on behalf of the Fellowship.
