Arvellas was born on the 17th of January, first son of Helean and Lathron. Six years later his brother Laeron was born. They were raised as any of the Dúnedain at that time: in the wild.

The loss of several close friends and his little brother cut a deep wound in his heart, but with time and care of others he overcame his grief and lived on. In turn he took it upon himself to take care of his brother’s wife who was left alone and pregnant after Laeron’s death. His ever faithful support in those difficult days was his close friend Dêaren, who he grew up with. Therefore it was not unexpected that when Dêaren died, Arvellas took the man’s son Radû, a lad of only fifteen years old, under his wing.

Around Bree he’s known as Lighthand, rumoured to be the swift and sneaky thief of everything not secured tightly enough.
