Elrond

Elrond is a character in J.R.R.

Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, an Elf lord who rules the hidden refuge of Rivendell.

He appears in *The Hobbit* and *The Lord of the Rings* as a wise counselor and healer.

The Council of Elrond is the gathering where the Fellowship of the Ring is formed.

The name has become shorthand for a wise, ancient advisor figure: We need an Elrond to guide us through this crisis.
