This is one of the easiest match-ups I've seen.
Elrond is the descendent of the Kings of the Noldor, the Kings of the Sindar, the House of Hador, and the House of Beor. He spent time with the sons of Feanor (I love them), fought beside Gil-galad, and founded the refuge of Rivendell.
And after retiring from warfare, he became the greatest healer in Middle Earth.
It is because of Elrond that there is a King in Gondor, for he preserved the line of Isildur over many years, and even took in Aragorn and raised him as a son.
He is one of the wisest and most learned in lore of any in Middle Earth. The council which decided the fate of the Ring wasn't in Lothlorien, or Minas Tirith- it was at Elrond's house.
And finally, the trump card-
Elrond controls a flippin RIVER!
Who the heck in Middle Earth can do that? Must be that Ainu blood.
Elrond is amazing. And compared to most all of the other big-time Elves, he is much less proud.
