Now this may be put on the board.

Name: Nilpaurion Felagund

Age: Almost three yéni

Race: Elves

Gender: Male/Male/Female

Appearance: Nilpaurion has the golden hair of the line of Finarfin, son of Indis the Vanya, and the grey eyes of the Noldor.

After his confinement in Mordor, Nilpaurion Felagund grew two more faces, one on each side of the head (see History below for details.)

Personality: Nilpaurion is paranoid, procrastinating and forgetful.

Adam is Machiavellian and maniacal.

Alice is discerning but disregarded.

History: After Nilpaurion, son of Felagund, was born, it was said that Amarië lay down to rest in the gardens of Lórien, saying to Finrod, 'The spirit that would have gone to two sons and a daughter has gone to our son. I'm still wondering why that has happened, for it has already happened to Míriel, your granfather's first wife. Maybe something is different with this child. You must watch him carefully while I rest for a while.'

The child indeed is different. At times, he was seen talking to himself, referring to some imaginary being named Adam, and replying in a different voice. And there had even been occasions where Nilpaurion speaks in a female voice. The Elves of Valinor were much perturbed by this, and they presented him to the Valar. After much consultation, Mandos said to Finrod, 'It is not fitting that a schizophrenic child shall live among the normal-minded. Therefore he is to be banished to Middle-earth, in hopes of curing him of his illness. May Eru have mercy on him.'

So he was exiled to Middle-earth, during the height of the power of the Anakronism Dweomer. He had already taken tests and read textbooks on psychology and Freud, but to no avail. Missing his home (and his television), he has decided to pretend to be cured just to go back home. But his plan of hypocrisy was thwarted. He overslept on the day of the setting sails of the final ship. Contemplating taking his life (which would send him to Mandos and thence to the Blessed Realm), he opted instead to roam around Middle-earth, thinking to find his death in a way more likely to be rendered in song.

Sometime during his stay in Gondor, Nilpaurion befriended Sai Onara. Once, in his attempt to help Sai, he called the Anakronism Police to help bring a certain psychology coursework to Mordor. But Adam Smith, his nemesis and alter-ego, took the opportunity to report him to the same policemen he called upon to help him. Thus, he was dragged to Mordor.

Upon entering the Black Land, Nilpaurion underwent a most Dantesque transformation. The two alter-egos of his mind made their physical manifestation, and on either sides of his face grew new faces. On the left was Adam Smith, and on the right was Alice Holly.

Due to the machinations of the vile Adam, Nilpaurion Felagund has taken the most distasteful task in all of Mount Doom Casino and Resort: A customer relations personnel. He is expected to smile and answer questions people have regarding directions, instead reacting more naturally and lashing out at the rank stupidity of people who should have instead consulted the maps (randomly scattered all over the place) or checked the garish signs pointing to well-visited places.
