Personal History: Gildor Inglorion was born in Aman in the Years of the Trees and is a distant cousin to Finrod Felagund. His father was a master archer in Finrod's company, his mother a dancer. Prior to leaving Aman, his family tended a valley outside of Tirion, caring for the land and the animals in Oromë’s forest before Finrod led his people into Middle-earth. Gildor inherits his ability to communicate with animals from his grandparents. Gildor’s mother died during the crossing of the Helcaraxë, and his father died during the Dagor Algareb, which was not long after Gildor reached his majority.

Gildor became a Knight of Nargothrond after his father's passing. He learned how to move amongst elves and their foes without being seen, and led a small company of advance scouts who performed reconnaissance missions for Finrod and Orodreth. After the stronghold of Nargothrond fell, Gildor traveled with the other surviving elves that managed to escape to the Isle of Balar, and then on to Lindon after a time with Gil-galad. Eventually, Gildor and his fellow refugees found a home in Imladris with Elrond. He fought under the banners of Gil-galad and Elrond during the Second and Third ages and spent the peaceful years during those times wandering with his fellow refugees, patrolling and exploring the lands on both sides of the Misty Mountains. He and his companions helped the Hobbit Frodo Baggins escape the Black Riders, giving the Hobbits food and shelter for the night. Gildor continues to be a nomad, and was the last of his clan to depart Middle-earth early in the Fourth Age.
