Thanks for the replies. Guess I'm going to have to look at the movie (yet again!) more closely. I can't imagine how I missed him, esp. since I of course do know about his spear Aeglos, and thus kept my eye out for that. (as well, the manner of his death at Sauron's hands was missing from the movie.) Still, I thought he could have been highlighted a bit more than that -- I do not recall that he is ever referred to by name in that sequence at the beginning of the movie. I am wondering whether the next movies will perhaps take some artistic license and weave his character back in some other way....
