Rumil
Jørn Benzon as Rumil in the New Line film
Brother of Haldir; guard of Lothlorien in the Third Age. Rumil had another brother named Orophin. Rumil, Orophin, and Haldirs' origins are not known. Rumil spoke the dialect of Sindarin that was spoken in Lothlorien. He could not speak the Common Speech fluently.
On January 15, 3019 of the Third Age, Rumil, Orophin, and Haldir came across the Fellowship on the borders of Lothlorien. The brothers led the Fellowship to Caras Galadhon, the city of Lothlorien in which the Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel lived. On the night of January 15, the Fellowship slept on a flet. Meanwhile, Orcs could be heard in the outskirts of Lothlorien. Rumil, Orophin, and Haldir drove them out, and with haste Orophin told the other Elves of Lothlorien about the presense of the Orcs. Meanwhile, Rumil and Haldir accompanied the Fellowship to the Silverlode and helped them cross using ropes. Rumil then returned to his duties guarding the west bank of the Silverlode.
Rumil's ultimate fate remains unknown. He and his brothers probably went to the Undying Lands in the West with their people after the War of the Ring.
