Haldir tells Aragorn and Theoden he and his men are there *because* of the alliance concluded with Elendil back at the end of the Second Age. In other words this is not a 'new' alliance but an honoring of the old.<P> As for who Haldir is - I gather in the movie he is the Captain of the March Wardens of Lorien and so an appropriate person to entrust with the expeditionary force.<p>[ May 02, 2003: Message edited by: Morwen Tindomerel ]
