elHagar

elHagar is a fictional character from the Spanish-language fantasy novel series *El Señor de los Anillos: Las Crónicas de Númenor y el Anillo Único* (The Lord of the Rings: The Chronicles of Númenor and the Ring), written by Spanish author Javier Negrete. The series is a prequel and expansion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s *The Lord of the Rings*, focusing on the history of Middle-earth, particularly the island-kingdom of Númenor and its fall.

elHagar is a Númenórean warrior and a key figure in the early history of Númenor. His name is derived from the Elvish term *el* (meaning "star" or "light") and *Hagar* (a reference to the ancient Númenórean hero Húrin of the First Age). In the series, elHagar is portrayed as a loyal servant of the Númenórean kings, known for his bravery and skill in battle. He plays a role in the defense of Númenor against external threats, including the early conflicts with the Dark Lord Sauron.

The character appears in the first book of the series, *El Último Rey de Númenor* (The Last King of Númenor), where he is depicted as a seasoned warrior who aids in the kingdom’s struggles against the forces of Morgoth and later Sauron. His name and background reflect the Númenóreans’ deep connection to Elvish culture and their mythological heritage.

elHagar’s inclusion in the series expands on Tolkien’s lore by introducing new characters and narratives that explore Númenor’s rise and eventual downfall. While he is not as prominent as other figures in the story, his presence helps enrich the world-building of Middle-earth’s early history. The character remains a lesser-known element of the expanded universe, appealing primarily to fans of the broader *Lord of the Rings* mythology.
