Lindir was an Elf in Rivendell and an aide to Elrond.


History[]

Lindir served Elrond as an aide during the Third Age. When the Company of Thorin Oakenshield arrived in Rivendell through the hidden passage, Lindir came out to meet them. He greeted Gandalf the Grey and told the wizard that Elrond was not yet back from his Orc hunt. As he spoke, the Rivendell Knights returned with Elrond as their leader and surrounded the Company. Elrond invited the Dwarves to have a meal and a place to stay.

Lindir was present in the meal area while the Dwarves dined and musicians provided entertainment. He stood next to Elrond at the head of the table while the Elf lord identified the swords Glamdring and Orcrist for Gandalf and Thorin. He later witnessed the Dwarves bathing in one of the fountains and was disgusted at their crudeness and lack of respect.

Elrond and Gandalf attended a White Council meeting with Saruman and Galadriel and while Elrond was distracted the Dwarves and Bilbo slipped away. Lindir, realising they were gone, came and told Elrond.
