Halmir
Lord of the Folk of Haleth at the time of the Battle of Sudden Flame. Halmir was born in year 390 of the First Age. He was the son of Haldan. The Folk of Haleth were a group of Edain who dwelt in Beleriand. When Haldan died in 451, Halmir became Lord of the House of Haleth.
In 455, Morgoth attacked Dorthonion in the Battle of Sudden Flame. After the battle, his Orcs roamed freely across Beleriand. With the knowledge of potential danger, Halmir requested aid from the Elven King Thingol of Doriath. Thingol honored Halmir's request for aid and sent a host of Sindarin warriors under the command of Beleg. Together, Halmir and Beleg successfully defeated an invasion of Orcs in northern Beleriand.
Halmir had four children: Haldir, Hundar, Hareth, and Hiril. When Halmir died in 471, he was succeeded by his son Haldir as Lord of the House of Haleth.
