Agandaûr

A deadly Black Númenórean. A shadow, spoken of in whispers and fear, even among the powerful. He is Sauron's cruelest ally, and plays an important, yet still mysterious, role in the plans for bringing Middle-earth to its knees.

THE GREAT EAGLE

BELERAM 

There are few creatures in all of Middle-earth more majestic than the Great Eagles. These noble beings live under the guidance of their King Gwaihir in eyries high atop the Misty Mountains. While the Great Eagles do not generally interfere with forces outside of their own realm, they have made rare exceptions in the name of honor and trust. Gandalf himself earned the friendship of these noble Eagles.
Beleram, a warrior of the Great Eagles, comes to build a similar bond with Eradan, Andriel, and Farin as they drive North together to halt Agandaûr's advances. His wise perspective, steadfast loyalty, and deadly force in combat are guiding beacons for our heroes as they venture ever further behind enemy lines.

Radagast

One of the Istari, or wizards, who came to Middle-earth with Gandalf, he is commonly known as Radagast the Brown. He settled in Mirkwood and rarely leaves his home of Rhosgobel. Radagast has formed strong friendships with birds and other beasts, especially the Great Eagles, affording him knowledge of the events transpiring beyond the boundaries of his home and refuge.

Elladan & Elrohir

Elladan and Elrohir are twin brothers, so alike that many cannot tell them apart. They are the sons of Elrond, born early in the Third Age and are therefore nearly three thousand years old.
Elladan's name means "Elf-Man" – a fitting name, for he and his brother are descended both of Elves and Men. As Peredhil, or Halfelven, these twin brothers could choose to remain on Middle-earth as a mortals or cross the sea to the Undying Lands as Elves.
The brothers are skilled hunters and trackers who have ranged far across the lands of Middle-earth, often alongside the Rangers. They have a close friendship with Aragorn and often travel with him. They have been sent by Elrond to assist those who might help hold Agandaûr and his forces at bay.

FARIN Champion of Erebor

A Champion of the Dwarf-realm of Erebor. From his first taste of war at the Battle of Five Armies, he has been one of the foremost defenders of his homeland. A true son of a warlike race, Farin is skilled in the use of all melee weapons and adept with a crossbow as well. While he strikes punishing blows, his greatest strength lies in his ability to endure harm. In battle, Farin is an unyielding rock upon which waves of enemies break. The sound of his fierce war-cry bolsters his allies, even as it strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies.

ANDRIEL Loremaster of Rivendell

An Elven Loremaster, schooled in ancient wisdom by Elrond himself; yet she is no meek scholar. In her hands a simple staff becomes a deadly weapon, not only because she wields it with Elven-skill, but also because she can use it to focus her power, striking down enemies near and far. But as capable as she is in combat, Andriel’s true strength lies in her power to preserve and protect her allies, and with her arts she can create shields of light which heal and restore those within.
