Born in Gondolin to two Noldor parents Amrindir grew up in the Hidden Plain with his sister Curwen and brother Amranoth and they were all close friends. Amranoth wanted to be a soldier of King Turgon and when he had come of age he enlisted in the host of Gondolin. Life was great for Amrindir and his Sibling's until Turgon gathered his host and marched out of Gondolin to the final battle aginst Morgoth, or so he thought. Amranoth was in the Host that left for what would be know as the Nirneath Arnoiead, the battle of unnumbered tears. Amranoth never again walked in the Hidden city and Amrindir's mother died of grief. Amrindir and Curwen rarly left each other's side and when the day came when the host of morgoth came to Gondolin they escaped and travelled to the mouths of the Sirion. After Morgoth was overthrown they parted ways, Curwen left for a place of the Silvan elves know as Lothlorien and Amrindir went off in search of Grrenwood the Great a place he had only heard of in rumors. They only crossed paths again, many years later when the first shadow came to Greenwood and Amrindir left for Lothlorien hoping to see his sister again. She had been to see to her kin in Imladris over the High pass when the group she was traveling with was ambushed by Orcs and Curwen was wounded by a poisened orc arrow. The company she was in brought her to Lorien and there when Amrindir had gotten there she was taking her last few breaths. He was quickly shown to his sister who after seeing and recognising him said "Brother I see you again, after such a long time, my husband is dead, killed by the same Orcs that nearly killed me, this leaves my Son, Gelmoth without any Parents, I ask you, watch over him while I am gone..." and with that she died. Gelmoth was a young marchwarden who was distruaght over his mothers death. Amrindir adopted him as his own son and they both Journeyed to a secret refuge in Ered Luin called Edhellion. Amrindir is very partial to hobbit cookery particularly the breakfast He has a fear of the larger Spiders found in Eriador but he uses this to fuel his rage at them causing him to attack any large spider he sees
