Silinde[1] was a representative of the Elves of Northern Mirkwood at the Council of Elrond.
Silinde is an original creation for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring film. He is portrayed by Sam Kelly.[2]
History
Silinde was an elf of the Third Age and a friend of the House of the Elvenking Thranduil. 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. Silinde travelled to Rivendell as a representative of the Elves of Northern Mirkwood and attended the Council. During the Council, he sat in between Saelbeth and Thranduil's son, Legolas.
During the Council, he conferred with Saelbeth.[3]
The Council turned to Chaos as its members disagreed on what to do with the One Ring. Gimli's proclamation "I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an Elf" was the final straw for Silinde and he stood up and began yelling.
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. Silinde stepped back to let Gandalf the Grey pass, as he offered to accompany Frodo. He watched on as others volunteered 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".
