Imrazôr
Imrazor was a prince of Gondor and an ancestor of the princes of Dol Amroth. He was of Numenorean descent. Imrazor was born in the year 1950 of the Third Age. He lived in the region of Belfalas.
Sometime in the later half of the twentieth century of the Third Age, Imrazor met a lost Elf-maiden called Mithrellas in the White Mountains. She claimed to be a companion of Nimrodel. Imrazor cared for the Elf, and it is said that they were wed.
Imrazor and Mithrellas had two children: Galador and Gilmith. Galador became the first Prince of Dol Amroth. After the birth of Gilmith, Mithrellas ran away, never to be seen again. Imrazor died in year 2076 at the age of 126.
Notices: In an earlier version of the legendarium, Imrazor was labeled the first prince of Dol Amroth, not Galador.
Also, it is never explained exactly why a man categorized as "Numenorean" would be living during the mid-late Third Age.
