Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
I guessed Finwe first, but it didn't really have enough of the sound of the word "away" in it.

I was looking for kings ending in -dane for a while ... not to mention trying to find answers with Olaf or Harald in them!

...

TURIN!! From Alan Turing, of the Bletchley Park codebreakers. Decrypters of Morse code that had been encrypted by Enigma machines in WW2. Lose the final G and it's endless.

And I was trying to get to Turin from the idea of the Turin shroud being an enigma, or wondering how enigma could be connected with some of the letters of Thorin, Thror or Thrain ....
