Adrahil (I)
A military commander from Belfalas, Adrahil served King Ondoher. He led the Left Wing of Gondor's Northern Army.
In 1944 of the Third Age, Wainriders from Rhun attacked Gondor. Ondoher led the Northern Army to meet them in battle on the plains of Dagorlad on the border of Mordor. Little did they know, the Wainriders had hidden themselves in the shadows of the Ash Mountains and launched a surprise attack on the Northern Army.
Ondoher was unprepared and he was slain, along with his sons Faramir and Artamir. Minohtar, leader of the Northmen, assumed command until his own death soon after. Adrahil looked out for aid from Earnil, who led the Southern Army.
It is unknown if Adrahil survived the battle. After the Wairiders' victory, they feasted at their camp to celebrate. Earnil led the southern army to defeat the Wairiders in the Battle of the Camp.
