It must be Ecthelion of the Fountain! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
"The first Eldar" part confuses me (does it mean I have to take the first letter 'E'?) but "King of beasts" >> -lion
and -C- is there as "the head of Curufin". So: 'E+C+ the lion'
Ecthelion of the Fountain was one of the three Ecthelions mentioned in Tolkien's writings, the other two were Ruling Stewards, fitting the line "Two wait for the King". And Ecthelion was the one who slew Gothmog, the Lord of balrogs but got mortally wounded and died too. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
