Gimilkhâd was the younger son of Queen Inzilbêth and King Ar-Gimilzôr of Númenor. His older brother Inziladûn followed his mother's beliefs (she was secretly one of the Faithful). Inziladûn took the royal title of Tar-Palantir and attempted to lead the Númenóreans back to reverence for the Valar. However, Gimilkhâd believed in the ways of his father, became the leader of the King's Men, and opposed the policies of his brother. His son usurped the Sceptre of Tar-Palantir's daughter Míriel, took the title of Ar-Pharazôn, and brought destruction upon the island realm.[1]
