Radanir

Radanir (Sindarin for Path-finder) is a Ranger of the Dúnedain, well-regarded for his herb-lore. He is perhaps the most well-known of his kin within Rivendell after Aragorn but, unlike his chieftain, has a reputation for seriousness. Elrohir shares that Radanir opens up when in the presence of the Elf-maid Elweleth.

"I have met few of Aragorn's kin, but Radanir is known to me, for he journeys oft into the trackless Ettenmoors and often stays here in Rivendell. For a time, my brethren sought to convince him to join the company in song in the Hall of Fire, as Aragorn would, but Radanir would have none of it." — Elrond

On the journey south, Radanir rides a steed named Glorengúr.

"'Aragorn is my chieftain, and it is my duty to go to his aid, though all the dangers of Middle-earth lie in between. This is the moment for which the Dúnedain have prepared, and I will not now abandon my kin."

"I returned to Thorenhad to say goodbye to Elweleth, but I could not find her anywhere at the camp. I had meant to return this hairpin she had given me, but perhaps she feared the farewells. I suppose I did as well."
