So far as I know only Elrond's line, including his parents and brother were allowed to choose a Doom. Anyone else is mortal. Imrahil's ancestors were Númenóreans/Dúnedain. The King [Aldarion; 6th King] of Númenor's wife, Erendis, called the Men of Númenor half-Elves, especially the Kings and their relatives, but they were Men.
