1. Find him circulating at a strange support group.
ERESTOR: Put back, almost intact, to find him.
3. A twist of double pastry for him.
4. Search around the ship for him.
GLORFINDEL: Coin in German money? Shake it up for him.
6. Behold, spirit! Turn and see him!
GALDOR: For him, a happy alternative, with minimal compromise.

THEME: PEOPLE PRESENT AT THE COUNCIL OF ELROND.

In GALDOR, OR is the 'alternative' bit. The 'minimal compromise' is that GLAD OR is only minimally compromised, because it's only just an anagram, (just as 'restore' is 'almost intact' in clue 2).

Urwen, FLORIN still remains inside GELD, even though both are rearranged - hence 'Coin in German money.'

N.B. I have slightly amended clue 6.
