Prime Video's first season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power premiered in September 2022 and exposed fans of the franchise to a new time period in Middle-earth. In this new time period, previously only shown in books like The Silmarillion, there is a slew of new characters. Some of these characters are names hardcore fans will recognize if they read Tolkein's works outside the main LOTR books, but many of them are new characters created for the series. One of these new characters is Arondir, played by Ismael Cruz Crdova.
