Born in the Kingsfell of the North Downs to Eolrig and his wife Anne, Eolair grew up knowing only peace and the hard labour of farming. While his grandfather had been from Rohan and the family kept the traditional naming of Eo- plus suffix in the family, Eolair feels himself to be more of a Breelander than a Rohirric. At twenty he married a neighbouring farmer's daughter, Mariah Greenfield, solidifying the families' bonds and mutual dependance. While it was primarily a marriage of convenience, he did learn to appreciate his wife and in time would have grown to love her. They had two children, both boys, Eolfran and Eologar. At twenty four years old, Eolair was a proud, successful farmer of the Kingsfell in the North Downs, having taken over the running of the family farm from his father. He owned a large, fertile tract of land, growing wheat and keeping cattle. He had up to twenty farmhands during harvest season helping him with birthing cattle and reaping the harvest, along with his father who still worked alongside him, giving advice and support, his mother, his sister Annalyn and his wife. One night, an orc raiding party descended on the farm, dragging the farm's inhabitants from their beds and slaughtering them. Eolair managed by some miracle to survive and with the help of a ranger, made his way to Minas Vrun. From there he travelled toTrestlebridge, then on to Bree where he is currently begging for a living while searching for a suitable job.
