Actually, Diamond, if you want to be technical, he was half man, a quarter elf, and a quarter maia. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

And you're not saying he was better looking than Luthien, are you? If you are, remember it says "and now he appeared as the fairest". It was only then, after Luthien had died (him recieving the Nauglamir was a token of her death) that he was the fairest. (if you weren't implying that he was better than Luthien, then what I said is only so others aren't confused)

I don't know if Dior would've had the life of an elf or a mortal (I would guess mortal), but there's probably no way of knowing since he died in battle before he had aged much.
