Halbarad

Overview

Tolkien Gateway describes Halbarad leading thirty Rangers to join Aragorn during the War of the Ring. He brings a standard made by Arwen and accompanies the company through the Paths of the Dead to Pelargir.

After captaining a captured Corsair ship, he reaches the Pelennor Fields with Aragorn. There he unfurls the standard displaying Gondor's White Tree and the signs of Elendil. He dies in the battle. This account concerns the book narrative; the article's game-specific adventures are excluded.
