	Encyclopedia of Arda: Glorfindel
		Tolkien was far from happy with this state of affairs, however, and it seems that he intended to reconcile the problem by uniting the two strands of the story.
		Despite this, the Glorfindel notes lead many to see his re-embodiment and return to Middle-earth as 'fact' (and not a few have e-mailed us to remind us of this!) The purpose of this rather lengthy aside, though, is to show that we cannot view these 'events' in such concrete terms.
		The Noldor were normally dark-haired, but the golden hair of the Vanyar was introduced through Indis, a Vanyarin Elf-maiden; hence the descendants of her sons Fingolfin and Finarfin sometimes had golden hair, suggesting that Glorfindel may have come from this noble line.

	Glorfindel
		Tolkien, Glorfindel is an Elf, a minor character that appears on a pair of occasions in the tales of Middle-earth.
		Glorfindel first comes in as a Noldor in the account of the escape of Tuor[?], Idril, Eärendil and many others from the fall of Gondolin in the First Age.
		Glorfindel reappears at the end of the Third Age as an Elf-lord sent by Elrond to help the wounded Frodo reach Rivendell, as told in The Fellowship of the Ring.

	Glorfindel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glorfindel's body is recovered from the crags by none other than Thorondor, Lord of Eagles himself, and the Elves lay the lord to rest in a mound of stones, where afterwards green grass and yellow Elanor flowers appear.
		Glorfindel is the strongest of these few, as he is sent in the direction that the Nazgûl are most likely to be in, and even holds the Bridge of Mitheithel against some of the Nazgûl single-handedly.
		Glorfindel was sent back to Middle-earth by the Valar during the Second Age as a kind of predecessor to the Istari, or in a different version, together with the Blue Wizards.

	TolkienWiki: Glorfindel
		Glorfindel was an Elf of Gondolin, one of the Captains of Turgon, and chief of the House of the Golden Flower.
		Glorfindel led a force from Rivendell in the Battle of Fornost when the Angmar was defeated.
		Glorfindel was tall and straight; his hair was of shining gold his face fair and yound and fearless and full of joy; his eyes were bright and keen, and his voice like music; on his brow sat wisdom, and in his hand was strength.

	Elves of Middle-earth
		In 1974, the Witch-king of Angmar invaded the North-kingdom of Arnor.
		Glorfindel left a green stone on the bridge as a token that it was now safe to cross and he pursued the Nazgul westward.
		Glorfindel was aware that Elrond would command the waters of the river to rise against the Nazgul, so he and the others kindled fire to drive the Nazgul into the river.

		Glorfindel’s laughter died before it reached his lips when he saw the face of this man. Many years and mother’s blood had changed the faces of the heirs of Anarion, but Glorfindel saw clearly that mark and bearing of the son of Elendil, the fair-haired son of the South.
		Glorfindel’s heart was enflamed, and he left his command in the hands of Thranduil and carved his way to the fore, only to find Cirdan standing and Elrond kneeling, holding the remains of the Last High King of the Elves, heedless of hurt to his own flesh from the burning.
		Glorfindel was pleased to see the colour in Frodo’s face, and he seemed animated and whole, though he was somewhat shy of all the new faces and the number of people on the porch.

		Glorfindel was also written to have been one of the King's chief lieutenants, (the other was Ecthelion), and it was he who led the House of the Golden Flower in Gondolin's defense.
		Thusly, Glorfindel of Rivendell then plays a large part in the War of the Ring, as it is he who meets Frodo and his companions on the East road and leads them safely into Imladris.
		Glorfindel of Rivendell was in the Fellowship of the Rings, and was the one who really got Frodo to safety.

		Glorfindel the Kitty aka Sauron the Dark Lord, was happily planning his overthrow of all that is good in Middle Earth when his thought’s turned to yummy raw fish.
		Glorfindel licked the elf on the lips and snuggled his cheek against Maglor; the smell of the food was worth being cute for a few seconds.
		Glorfindel was tucked into the nightshirt against the elf’s chest and held tight.

		Glorfindel of Rivendell is not fully introduced as far as I can recall (I am sure we are only ever given his first name).
		Glorfindel would appear to be a 'striking name' according to JRRT, and though its repetition seems 'possible' Tolkien appears to conclude it would not be credible, seemingly for the reasons that follow...

	Glorfindel Returns \| Lord of the Rings Fanatics Library (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Thus, Tolkien has Glorfindel arriving in the Second Age, likely sent to aid the Elves in the time of the Forging of the One Ring (Second Age 1600) and Sauron's subsequent attacks on Eriador.
		When Glorfindell arrived on the shores of Middle-earth, there was a air of special power and sanctity about him.
		The reincarnation could be delayed, but Glorfindel was a noble who had left in the rebellion only because of his allegiance to Turgon, and he would not have taken part in the kin-slaying.

		In the Silmarilion, it recounts of the death of Glorfindel, the golden haired elf, in battle with a balrog in Angmar.
		Since Glorfindel died in such a noble, self-sacrificing manner he was permitted to return to Middle-Earth after only a short period of time.
		Glorfindel was one of the few who could hope to stand against them.

		Glorfindel was only a kitten after all and that meant that he was still a baby who needed attention.
		Glorfindel the kitty squealed and jumped down from Maglor’s hold and ran from the room and hid in the corner of the kitchen behind the potato sack.
		Glorfindel the kitty had not touched his food and was sitting with his back to it glaring at the wall and sulking.

	Glorfindel of the House of the Golden Flower - Message Board - ezboard.com
		A strong and handsome Elf, Glorfindel was named for his long, golden hair, a possible proof of his ascending from the royal line of the Noldori, as it would be the Vanyarin blood in his veins that caused this.
		Glorfindel is honest and headstrong, an opponent of great class, as the Witch King of Angmar has experienced.
		NOTE: Glorfindel of Gondolin and Glorfindel of Imladris are believed to be one person, not only because of their appearance, but also because of their behaviour, both valiant and brave warriors.

	Glorfindel and the Spy He Hated

		Glorfindel sprung around with a guilty bound, like…like a Balrog-slayer surprised by the mother of a boy who he is teaching how to exterminate spies.
		Glorfindel ran to his room to hide in his cupboard.

	Glorfindels Galore \| Lord of the Rings Fanatics Library (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Glorfindel of Gondolin also really must be Noldorin, for he was highly important figure in the Noldorin city of Gondolin (though there were many Sindar in Gondolin, it doesn't seem likely that one would have achieved Glorfindel's status, and actually, Gondolin was initially said to have been almost entirely Noldorin).
		The intitial reason given by Tolkien is that Glorfindel, as seen in his sacrifice, had a deep love for the Elves of Middle-earth, and a desire to continue to aid them to the point of his death and beyond.
		Combined with this complaint is the idea that Tolkien did not mention Glorfindel's reincarnation until over 15 years after The Lord of the Rings was written; therefore, it seems evident that he did not intend for the two Glorfindels to be the same while writing the saga.

	glorfindel
		During the time of the War of the Ring, Glorfindel appears to have been second to Elrond Half-Elven in rank in Rivendell.
		His origins are obscure, but it is known that Glorfindel led Elvish warriors into the Battle of Fornost which, in 1975 of the Third Age, resulted in the destruction of the realm of the Witch-king of Angmar.
		Ambushed by Morgoth's forces, Glorfindel fought a mighty Ballrog and both toppled from a cliff to their deaths.

	Glorfindel -- Middle Earth Vault
		Glorfindel is one of the most fragile heroes in the game, and the fact that he lacks stealth and range that many heroes of similar hit points to him have gives him terrible difficulty surviving.
		Glorfindel didn't kill the Lord of the Balrogs, which was Gothmog, who was killed by Ecthelion (who lost his own life also).
		Glorfindel is not only much, much older than Elrond, but he is also purely Elven (unlike Elrond's incredibly mixed blood) and has a much more impressive resume.

	Celandine - The Golden Flower - Glorfindel's Lament
		Glorfindel was Lord of the House of the Golden Flower in the Hidden City of Gondolin. I am not sure what Tolkien had in mind, but I picture the flower on Glorfindel’s mantle as the simple herb flower, Celandine.
		As an aside, I portend that Glorfindel of Gondolin and Glorfindel of Rivendell are one and the same.
		Glorfindel bare a mantle so broidered in threads of gold that it was diapered with celandine as a field in spring; and his arms were damascened with cunning gold.”

		192-4, IV.145), and Glorfindel of Rivendell were one and the same: he was released from Mandos and returned to Middle-earth in the Second Age.
		The suggestion that lack of premeditation is grounds for rejection also seems inadequate, since many elements were introduced with little thought of future consequences yet later became important parts of the mythos.
		On the other hand, the usual caveats concerning unpublished material are even stronger than usual in this case, since he not only might have changed his mind before publishing but also might have done so before he wrote the story, or while he wrote it (not an unusual occurrence).

	The Wars of the Glorfindels
		Of course, no Glorfindel discussion is complete (and few are started) without someone asking, "Was the Glorfindel of Gondolin related to the Glorfindel of Rivendell?" Sometimes one is tempted to respond with something like, "Yes, they were twin brothers, and the evil one killed the good one and took his place in the family.
		By implication (or inference, depending on which way you examine the issue) Glorfindel of Rivendell was not originally conceived of as Glorfindel of Gondolin.
		Clearly JRRT was intending to connect Glorfindel of Rivendell with Glorfindel of Gondolin, although at this time (the early 1940s) hardly anyone other than J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and a few close friends even knew about the Glorfindel of Gondolin.
