Biography
Legolas was the male Elven son of Thranduil who was the King of the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood on Middle-earth.
He later attended the Council of Elrond in Rivendell where he attended on behalf of his father to discuss Gollum's escape from their guard.
Afterwards, he came to stay for the coronation of Aragorn II Elessar and his marriage to Arwen.
Overview
Personality and attributes
His name when translated into English meant 'Greenleaf'.
Similar to all Elves, he had great respect and appreciation for nature.
Originally, he and the dwarf Gimli did not get along with one another due to the ancient quarrel between Elves and Dwarves.
Powers and abilities
As an elf, Legolas had all the typical traits of his people that he honed for use. He was able to walk silently through grass and snow whilst leaving only the barest of footprints behind allowing him to remain undetected.
At Lothlórien, he was given the long-bow of the Galadhrim which was longer and stouter than those of the fashioned in Mirkwood.
