Círdan, also known as Nowë and Círdan the Shipwright was a Telerin Elf (of which he was one of the wisest princes), a great mariner and shipwright in Middle-earth.
Círdan was the lord of the Falas and then of the Balar during much of the First Age, one of the wisest and perhaps the mightiest of the Moriquendi. He was the bearer of the Great Ring Narya, which he in turn gave to Gandalf.
Behind the scenes[]
- Círdan was portrayed by Michael Elsworth in The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King, but was uncredited. Elsworth had also appeared in the first film as the role of the Gondorian Archivist and doubled for Gandalf when Ian McKellen was unavailable.
- In the books, Círdan was the lieutenant of Gil-galad during the War of the Last Alliance, but in the first film, the position was given to Elrond instead (as he was Gil-galad's herald in the books).
