gildor_01Gildor was the son of some Inglor and one of the Exiles of the House of Finrod. It's possible that he was from around Rivendell.
Elves seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill."
― Gildor Inglorion
In September T.A. 3018, he led a Wandering Company of Elves of Rivendell travelling eastwards from the Emyn Beraid, where they went to see Elbereth in the palantír that was kept there. On the 24th, they were singing, and unknown to him their sounds drove away a Black Rider who was searching for Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee and Peregrin Took on the road near the Woody End. As they passed by them, Gildor was the hindmost, and seeing Frodo he greeted him, to his surprise. Gildor initially intended that the elves bid the hobbits farewell and continue on their way, until Pippin spoke of the Black Riders pursuing them. Upon hearing this, he invited the hobbits to join them, although it was not their custom. He rejoiced after hearing Frodo's Quenya greeting and gave him the title Elf-friend.
