Elrond is the lord of Rivendell, as well as a centuries old elven warrior who first formed the Fellowship of the Ring. Born during the First Age, Elrond became a great leader of the elves when Sauron first began his campaigns of conquest. Elrond attempted to fight Sauron when the latter attacked the region of Eregion, only to lose and forced to retreat to Rivendell. Near the end of the Second Age, Elrond was one of the key leaders in the alliance of Men and Elves, beating back Sauron to Mordor. Despite his warnings, Elrond watched in vain as the human king Isildur chose to keep the Ring for himself rather than destroy it and Sauron permanently.
Centuries later, Elrond took in the youngest descendant of Isildur, Aragorn, raising him as his own son. Elrond would go on to help Thorin Oakenshield and his comrades in their quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain, where he would meet and become close friends with Bilbo Baggins. Decades later, as Sauron prepared for his grand return, Elrond decided to convene a council, inviting members of all the races of Middle-Earth to come together. It was there that it was decided that the Ring, now in possession of Bilbo's nephew Frodo Baggins, would be destroyed and cast into Mount Doom.
