Minor Biography/Background:

<All info contained here (This profile as a whole) is a WIP, as my character is constantly evolving/changing with any and all RP I partake in, at includes information above>

| Important Note: I am fully aware of some lore-based issues with my character, however I tried to keep him as lore-friendly as possible while maintaining my goal of creating more of the tragic wanderer archetype utilizing the elven race, therefore he is rather old and a bit powerful but not overly so, still compassionate to a fault but deeply flawed emotionally, the many years of struggle sent him into the arms of more than the normal amount of elven relationships (that being one), I do hope these issues do not bother you overmuch, but if so please simply avoid me I will take no offense as long as you announce such before leaving me without a reply should we RP in the same forum. |

(Born in the "Years of Trees" {before the first age had started} in middle earth just before the elves crossed over to Valinor and was raised in Valinor until he departed with the "Company of Noldor" to reclaim the Silmarils with Fingolfin and Feanor) Raised and taught much  during the first and second ages by various masters, Thirenel has adapted time and time again to his adventures on Middle-Earth, including his many exiles at the hands of his people starting with the slaying of his first master during the first age and more recently after a large dispute over some "ancestral items" Thirenel wished to take back in Mirkwood, his chosen home.

Thirenel is a member of the Noldor, the second branch of the Elves from which Gil-galad and other notable elves sprang. (Though he is now branded a Dark Elf...)

Thirenel after his most recent exile has withdrawn himself and his House to the west, to Ered Luin to dwell in the cities of Man until such a time comes when he may return to Mirkwood to reclaim his heirlooms and title. (Though he has no real ambition to stay).

______________________________________________________________________

He has left the title of Captain of Lord Blackfyres Personal Guard, the Black-Claw Guard... Though he has done this with a heavy heart, he knows that he must continue on his search for greater power so that he may reclaim his people's (The elves of the House of Willows) Legacy. (Lord Dwivir Blackfyre is a very old friend from Thirenel's days in/around Mirkwood.)

______________________________________________________________________

Zagzeroth re-married long after the death of his first wife, Ilorhynn Willowshade, he now lives a joyous life with Galdana Willowshade, daughter to a Thane of Hytboldt and Rohirric Huntress. He spends most days sitting by lazy rivers under the cooling shade of trees at his home with Galdana, though they have been known to venture far and wide, still taking the fight to the creatures born of Sauron's (and Morgoth's) darkness.

After returning from a journey to the south, Zagzeroth discovered that his new wife had been attacked and murdered in his absence... His travels adapted his way of thinking and thus was distraught but not impassioned over her death. He now lives among old friends in Bree again, taking the fight to enemies of the light in his travels.

______________________________________________________________________

After long seasons in the old town of Bree Zagzeroth met, befriended and eventually married a young woman named Ivmin, yet again tying his fate to that of a 'Man', her life would not be as long as his, but perhaps his life could be enriched yet again for the experience... Nearly a year later, once all Zagz' friends in Bree had either died or gone back to wandering, he and his new wife moved into the South to an Estate he had purchased much earlier and had secured with the help of his Mercenary Company (The Willowshade Mercenary Company), and their formidable captain, Captain Athlang Altashir... They live there near the Dol Amroth to this day, only time will tell how long this bliss lasts.

______________________________________________________________________

Thirenel has departed without notice, from his lands in Gondor and made his way into the Black Lands of Mordor, lying in wait for a dear old friend from days long locked away in his memories, there he plans to stay until he reclaims what was once lost, and perhaps for long after...

______________________________________________________________________

Thirenel, beaten and battered returned to his estate and family, recovering over many months from the trauma and wounds sustained within the Black Land, taking solace in the love of his wife and child, sharing tales of his travels with his confidant, and teaching his child many skills, writing in his journals of what came before and what may come of the future.

______________________________________________________________________

After fully recovering, Thirenel returned to Bree-town, finding some old friends to talk with again, and meeting others who his old friends knew in recent days. He would soon be pulled into his old work again, recent events in the quiet town had grown to concern him and his allies and he was never quite good at letting things lie at simply calling the watch...

Notable Battles/Events (Participated in):

• The Last Alliance (Follower of Gil-Galad, member of the elven company)
• The War in the North against Angmar (Elven Company)
• The Battle for Erebor/Battle of Five Armies: (Mirkwood Army)

(He did not take part in the first kinslaying, only the second, he originally travelled across the mountains of Helcaraxe to reach middle earth, watching as many of his brothers and sisters perished for the sake of the Silmarils (Thought by himself to be useless symbols of power until he saw their shining beauty even when held by the Dark One, Morgoth.)

((Battle of Helm's Deep {Haldir's Company} and the Battle of the Pelennor Fields {A Lone wanderer helping from other angles} as well, though being that these battles take place in a splintered timeline from others I will only show them in this way and make no mention of them IC.))

(Hid his involvement in the second kinslaying at Doriath until the 3rd Age when his involvement was discovered and he was subsequently betrayed by the remaining elves of his house, though this was not the only reason for the betrayal...)

Other Information:

• He studied for many years in the great forging chambers of Erebor after the Armies of Bolg {Spawn of Azog} were dispersed, refining his already vast knowledge of weapon/metal crafting and has revisited the Lonely Mountain on a few occasions with the newfound era of relative 'peace'.

• He sometimes (not often anymore) speaks with a slightly dwarven manner (Yer {your}, me {my}, etc. from years spent with dwarves)

• Refuses to speak in Sindarin unless the need arises (Vowed never to utter another word in that language until such a time that he can hold enough power to defeat his betrayers and end the bickering of his Noldor brethren, this of course may never happen but he sees no reason to speak in Sindarin as it serves no purpose in his life.) (Though he has been known to utter words in Quenya for whatever reason...)

• Actively searches for his lost Heirlooms{Complete} (The relics of The House of Willows)

• I'm a Heavy to Moderate RPer and therefore am always IC unless otherwise occupied

• He has lived among the Men of Bree for many years now and frequents the Pony so please be quiet about the whole "No elves in Bree" stuff it gets irritating after awhile especially since he is a dark elf and therefore would travel the lands of men quite often. Though this no longer matters as he has departed the lands of Men for a private home nearer his elven brethren.
