aradon

Aradon was left for dead after a slave trader had attacked and killed his family. His parents and his twin sister had all been killed. Thranduil took Aradon in and adopted him and raised him as his own son. He had a good relationship with his brother Legolas but when his Legolas left Mirkwood , Aradon stayed with Thranduil.

He met Elladan one of his of his visits to Rivendell with his father and the two of them had become close, though they had kept their relationship secret from most others.

Over time the two had drifted apart but he never forgot him, keeping his feelings to himself.
