History
Ottar was a Lake-man of Lake-town. When Elrond, the Lord of Rivendell, invited representatives of factions of the Free peoples of Middle-earth to a Council which aimed to answer the growing threat of Mordor, Ottar travelled to Rivendell as a representative of the Lake-men to attend the council. During the Council, he sat between Galdor of the Havens and Dasron.
When Gandalf the Grey silenced Boromir by reciting Black speech, Ottar watched the Wizard, visibly unnerved.
The Council erupted into as its members disagreed on what to do with the One Ring. Ottar appeared to remain relatively calm and attempted to mediate between Erestor and another Man.
The Council's furious bout of yelling raged on until Frodo Baggins, the Shire-hobbit who brought the Ring to Rivendell, volunteered to take the Ring to Mordor and destroy it. Ottar watched as eight others offered to join Frodo on his quest. He sat back down and watched Lord Elrond dub Frodo and his eight companions "The Fellowship of the Ring".
