A son of the wealthy trader Hadrem, Landrem was tutored from an early age in the ways of learned men of Gondor, like his older brothers before him. Yet Landrem was a more eager student, fond of Sindarin and the writings of those sages and explorers who came before—bookish, despite his natural strength—and readily awaited a fostering at the age of ten in Minas Tirith, where he found himself enamoured with the vast libraries and gleaming walls of the famed city.

After studying the ways of highborn men of Gondor, arms and the works of famous writers, Landrem lingered in the libraries a year past manhood, before he found himself asked to serve by his mother, swearing himself in service to the Steward Denethor and the realm, joining the kingdom's vast army.

After a span of five years, having not yet seen much combat, the bidding of his mother and the persuasion of his uncle, First Warden Landrem the Elder, moved his post to the capital, into the Guards of City. Under the counsel of his uncle, Landrem ascended into a position of officership, becoming a Warden, and gained minor fame for personally slaying the leader of a foolhardy plot to take over Anfalas.

A year later, Landrem the Elder retired, and Landrem the Younger found himself appointed to the position of High Warden, taking after his namesake, first serving underneath the High Captain Aedren, and now under High Captain Eglanion. Despite his youth, he seems at ease with the role he is given in a time of foreboding.
