So far, Rings of Power has hinted at many mysteries, and left several of the big questions fans have held from the beginning unanswered. One such curiosity is that of Celeborn, Galadriel’s husband. According toTolkien’s books, he was already married to the protagonist of the Amazon series throughout the Second Age of Middle Earth, but was yet to be referenced in the show — until now. During Galadriel and Theo’s heartfelt conversation in episode seven, she finally gives some hint towards the possible fate of Celeborn. So who is this curious elf, and could he really have died in the war as Rings of Power seems to suggest?
The TV show may choose to take the storyline in a different direction, but it has made every effort to keep in line with events that occur in the film adaptations of both The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. However, in the original trilogy, Celeborn is very much alive, and can easily be spotted by fans who know the story well. He is the silver-haired elf who accompanies Galadriel down the stairs in the kingdom of Lothlorien, the first time she encounters the fellowship. He also speaks the famous and iconic line: “Tell me, where is Gandalf? For I much desire to speak with him.” Together, they rule the woodland realm. They are actually the grandparents of Arwen, who goes on to marry Aragorn at the start of the Fourth Age, and helps him rule Gondor until the time of his passing.
