Hethmar

Hethmar was the first child of Iodil, and a distant relation to the Kings-In-Exile. He inherited the throne at Dilendain from his father when he was old enough, and was generally accepted as a good leader. Hethmar didn't share his father's ideal of serving under the Kings-In-Exile, though he didn't wish to become a King himself either, feeling that attracts too much attention. He simply wished to be a leader until his time was up.

At some stage towards the end of the Fourth Age, Hethmar's grandfather, Iandil, was captured and killed, with his head being found atop a spear outside the very doors of Dilendain three days later. When it was discovered that this act was undertaken by the servants of the Dungeon Master, Hethmar declared open war against the being, and several battles have been hosted between the two forces in their underground tunnels. However, during one of these battles, Hethmar himself was slain by the enemy.

His only son, Helmar, was too young to take the throne at the time, and was adopted by Hethmar's brother, Alrik II. Hethmar's father, Iodil, reclaimed the throne grudgingly, and has continued the campaign against the Dungeon Master.
