Legolas was chosen to represent the elves at Elronds Counsel. Disliking Gimli a lot in the beging caused tension when making desions but he became good friends with him in Lothlorien. When Gandalf falls and Boromir dies, it was hard for Legolas to understand what death is and how it affects the beings around him, beacuse elves don't experinace it being immortal unless killed in battle. His sharp eyes and ear and quick skills with his bow and duoble daggers are very important in battle and to the fellowship. BIO OF LEGOLAS Aliases: Greenleaf

Biography: Sindarin elf of the woodland realm, in the year 3019, Legolas journeyed to Rivendell to sit on the Council of Elrond, and was chosen to represent the Elves in the Fellowship. In Lorien, Legolas and Gimli became close friends, a friendship that lasted the rest of their lives. Legolas' keen sight and archery skills were his greatest asset to the Fellowship. After the Breaking of the Fellowship, Legolas went with Gimli and Aragorn in search of Merry and Pippin, and fought in the battle of Hornburg. He eventually went to Gondor, and fought in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields; while in Gondor, he had his first glimpse of the sea, and was overcome by a deep desire to sail from that moment on. After the War of the Ring, he journeyed with Gimli to visit the Glittering Caves and Fangorn Forest. In the Year 120 FO, after the death of Aragorn, Legolas sailed over the sea, taking Gimli the dwarf with him, the last of the Fellowship.

Tolkien. WHAT I THINK OF LEGOLAS Awesome charcter...a lot I can say about him, but my favortie thing is his sniper/assasin killing with his bow. Orlando is awesome, and I think anyone else who would have played legolas would have sucked. Anyways it's exactly how I pictured the elf to be from the book.
