What we know of Guilin of Nargothrond occurs only through inference, as his personal history is never described in any of Tolkien's writings.
Before he was the Unhappy, he was one of the nine faithful servants of Barahir and deeply in love: an oft-overlooked but tragic figure from The Silmarillion.
Glorfindel is one of several among Tolkien’s notable heroes who have provoked a substantial amount of controversy, most notably in the appearance of two essential Glorfindels and the ensuing debate over whether they are the same character.
Known as the Father of Dragons, Glaurung is the first of these mighty monsters to emerge in the legendarium.
Gil-galad is first met by most reader in The Lord of the Rings, but his story is deepened and expanded in The Silmarillion.
A character appearing only in The Book of Lost Tales, Gilfanon nonetheless survives later in the legendarium in the character of Pengolodh.
Gildor Inglorion is one of the many links between The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings, providing a final glimpse in the Third Age of the exiled Noldor.
Gethron is an aged man of the people of the House of Hagor who plays small but a not insignificant role of tragic story of Húrin Thalion and his family.
Whether in the guise of Gandalf the Grey or Gandalf the White, Tolkien’s most famous wizard plays the role of the nearly perfect guide, instigator, and mentor for the heroes of both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
Galadriel is a rare example of a character added to The Silmarillion after and because of The Lord of the Rings. The complexity of her character development post-LotR largely comes from trying to fit her character into the existing myth. Part 1 explores her life in the Years of the Trees and the First Age; Part 2 continues with the significant influence she wields over the legendarium in the Second and Third Ages.
Finwë, the first King of the Noldor, the unchallenged and beloved patriarch of his people, is written with shoulders figuratively broad enough to bear the weight of leadership of the most contentious family and people within Tolkien's history of the Elves.
The considerable virtues of Finrod Felagund are tempered with enough flaws to leave him an intruiging character.
The story of Fingon the Valiant epitomizes the fate of the exiled Noldor, involving elements of extraordinary personal heroism combined with a foreordained doom to form the gripping foundation for the principal story.
The life story of Fingolfin is one of those central to the fierce and tragic tale of the fall of the Noldor.
Finarfin exhibits traits the opposite of what one expects of the Noldor, ironically causing the "least exciting" of Finwë's sons to stand out among them.
In a brief biography written for the Seven in '07 event, Fëanor emerges as a star in the backstory of Tolkien's legendarium.
In Imladris, Erestor receives news and reminisces about the present and the past.

Estë is the goddess who sleeps through the book--or is she? Her character illustrates both the potential and ultimate shortcomings of so many female characters in Tolkien's legendarium.
Erestor has long been a favorite character among Tolkien fans. This biography explores what little the texts tells of him and how some of the most popular Erestor-related fanons may have arisen.
Although never mentioned in The Silmarillion, Erendis rivals the most significant women in Tolkien’s legendarium in forcefulness of personality and certainly in sheer number of words expended upon her behalf.
Eöl is one of many First Age characters who walks the line between complexity and villainy.
Even in the absence of many words about her in the text, Emeldir's story stands on its own merits.
In addition to her place in the important lineage of the Peredhil, Elwing plays a key role when she chooses to withhold the Silmaril from the Fëanorians.
Eluréd and Elurín enter the legendarium as the little lost princes whose tragic demise is recounted in the story of the assault upon Doriath.
The first king of Númenor, Elros's heritage manifests itself in the portrayal of various central characters of The Lord of the Rings.
