The "Elven escort's" name is actually Figwit. I have no idea where this name came from. Maybe PJ or maybe some obsessive compulsive fans, who knows? Anyway there are several hundred fan girls obsessed with him just like all the other boys of the fellowship.

That's an interesting question thought, where did the name Figwit come from? Anybody know?

Figwitis usually understood to be this elf: Figwit

His name is an acronym meaning "Frodo is great, Who is that?" The members of the Near-Sighted Elf Society, like Eowyn Skywalker, can tell you more about him.

Maybe the unamed charachter of Trotk is that Gondorian with the long blond hair that says to Gandalf when Gandalf and Faramir are talking on the courtyard: '' I knew it was going to happen, long has Lord Denethor forseen this'' Or something like that

That's Iorlas. The one that's a brown-noser.

Thanks Boro. But actually, in the movie, they spell it Irolas. Why? WHY?! They're so close! And it would've made as near to complete sense as the movie ever gets to make that dude Iorlas. Why change the spelling like they did with Madril/Mardil? Now, I'll admit that Madril sounds cooler than Mardil, but Iorlas is easier to pronounce than, and still sounds cooler than Irolas. OK, so you have to understand that initial I's directly followed by another vowel are pronounced like Y's, but that's the same rule as in other langauges, even some spoken today. *sigh*
