The first season of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power featured a large cast of characters, some taken from J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and others invented specifically for the series. One of these original characters was Arondir, as portrayed by Ismael Cruz Córdova. Arondir was an Elf tasked with keeping watch over the Southlands, a region of Middle-earththat would eventually become Mordor. During the First Age, the people of the Southlands had allied with Morgoth, so the Elves stationed soldiers there to ensure that they did not return to their evil ways. Arondir did not reveal much about his past. The only details he provided throughout the first season were that he was born in Beleriand and that he used to be a “grower,” presumably a term for a farmer or gardener.Arondir first appeared in The Rings of Power’s premiere, “A Shadow of the Past,” performing his biweekly check-in to a village called Tirharad. He entered a tavern to ask the barkeep, Waldreg if anything unusual had happened lately. From his first scene, it was clear that the Men of the Southlands resented the Elves who watched over them. One of the tavern’s patrons angrily told Arondir — or “knife-ears,” as he mockingly called him — that the alliance with Morgoth happened over a thousand years ago and that the Elves needed to let go of the past. Waldreg was friendlier, but he still withheld information from Arondir, clearly wanting the inspection to end as quickly as possible. However, there was one villager with whom Arondir had a better relationship.Arondir made one last visit to Bronwyn to tell her how he truly felt, but before he got the chance, a man with a sick cow came asking for her help. The cow had eaten poisoned grass near Hordern, the village where Bronwyn was born. She and Arondir went there to investigate, and they found only fiery ruins. While Bronwyn left to warn Tirharad, Arondir explored the tunnels under the village, where Orcs knocked him out and captured him. He awoke, bound in chains, alongside many other Elves. The Orcs could not stand sunlight, so they were forcing their prisoners to dig trenches they could use to traverse in darkness. Arondir had to cut down an ancient tree in their path, which devastated him, as Elves usually treated nature with the utmost respect. The Rings of Power established this back in the first episode, as Arondir was upset by the notion that Bronwyn crushed flower petals to make her medicine. Near the end of the episode, the Elves try to escape. They nearly succeeded, killing several Orcs and even a ravenous Warg in the process, but Orc archers foiled their escape attempt.
