Branalph served Finrod and Orodreth at Nargothrond. It is uncertain whether anyone else who served there would recognize him -- a simple foot soldier, Branalph resembled many others. Almost instantly upon their arrival, Branalph found he could not place faith in Celegorm and Curufin, although he was rather fond of Celegorm's dog. Then a young Man of a noble house proposed breaking the secrecy of the city, and building a bridge to face the might of Thangorodrim head on. History records how well that went. To this day, Branalph is a tiny bit tense around Men. And bridges. Why are there so many bridges in Imladris?

And yet, bridge-infested as the refuge is, Branalph has found a home and a few friends, and that pleases him. He has met a new friend and is working up the courage to introduce her to his pet goat.
