Ellenzo

Ellenzo is a fictional character created by the author J.R.R. Tolkien, appearing in his Middle-earth legendarium. Ellenzo is primarily known as the father of Aldarion, a significant figure in Númenórean history. Aldarion was the sixth King of Númenor, a great island kingdom that existed in the Second Age of Middle-earth.

Little is directly stated about Ellenzo's life and reign. He is mentioned in appendices and genealogies within Tolkien's works, serving as a link in the royal lineage of Númenor. His importance lies in his parentage of Aldarion and his place within the history of the Dúnedain, the people of Númenor. The Númenóreans were a long-lived and powerful race, gifted with great wisdom and skill.

Ellenzo's name itself suggests a connection to Númenórean naming conventions, which often had Elvish influences. While his actions and personal story are not extensively detailed, his role as the progenitor of Aldarion places him within the foundational narrative of one of Tolkien's most important civilizations. The history of Númenor, and by extension the lineage stemming from Ellenzo, is crucial to understanding the subsequent events of the Second and Third Ages, including the rise of Sauron and the eventual Downfall of Númenor.
