Personality: His looks are typical for a Mirkwood elf. He has dark blond hair and hazel-green eyes. Unlike most Elves, he kept his hair short and grew a short beard (he could do this because of his half-human heritage) to fit in with the people of Rohan. He was born in 2019 to Merenwen I. He wandered around Middle Earth until he found his wife, a mortal Southron named Anoën, and they both went to live in Rohan. They married in 2969 and had a daughter, Merenwen II in 2975. (her history is shown elsewhere-look it up). Ionedhûr II died aiding Rohan in the battle of Helms Deep in 3019, giving up hope and will to live throught the battle because of the death of his wife earlier the same year, after 50 years of marriage. This is his story in song form, in Elvish: Non Ionedhûr, adan a edhel (I am Ionedhûr, elf and man) Im bediant nan Harad a govant i fíriel (I went south and met a mortal) Anoën nant meleth nîn (Anoën she was, my love) a Merenwen nant sell nin (and Merenwen was our daughter) Anoën a nîn bediant na Rohan (We came to Rohan) Im anirant losta beth Anoën an-uin(I wanted to hear her voic forever) i guil in firil ú-nân an-uin. (the life of a mortal is not forever) Anoën firn a im pell (Anoën died and I withered) cuil ú-annant estel. (Life gave no hope) Im anirant firi (I wanted to die) im anirant drego i guil alfirin a ceni (I wanted to flee immortal life) meleth nîn. Im bent an Rohan (and see my love. I went to Rohan) a anna agar nîn an acharn. (and gave my blood for vengeance) Ae im ú-nant edhel-adan (If I wasn't half-elf) Ae im ú-bent an i 'Arad (if I did not go South) Ae im nant i thoron (If I were an eagle) Ae im nant i el (If I were a star) Ae im ú-radant le....(If I never found you...) Ae im ú-annant guren (If I never gave my heart) An Rohan im govant elleth (In Rohan I met an elf-maid) a im radant meleth (and found love) I elleth annant nîn estel (The elf-maid gave me hope) in elleth nant ril el (she was a shining star) Mín dagrant i nglamhoth (We battled the orcs) a im pell, brûn loth. (and I withered, an old flower) Nant gurth nîn, (It was my death) nant i aduial o i veleth mín, (It was the twilight of our new love) a im anirant brono. (I wanted to survive.) Im bent rado Anoën. (I went, to find Anoën.) Non i thoron (I am the eagle) Non i ngyl (I am the stars) Non i meleth (I am love) an uin. (forever)
