As Gil-galad's standard-bearer, a position of very high honour, Elrond would be recognised by the elven military as the person closest to the High King. In action, he would normally be at the King's side, acting as adviser and counsellor. He would also be responsible for relaying the King's orders to other commanders. Elrond spoke with the King's voice and would be obeyed as if he were the King.

As Gil-Galad's herald, Elrond would be the Last Alliance's senior diplomat, negotiating alliances and treaties with allies and terms of surrender with enemies.

Elrond was, in effect, Secretary of State for War and Secretarty of State for Foreign Affairs to Gil-Galad, just a heart-beat from the leadership of the Free World.
