Hazad Longbeard was a man living in Agar during the Second Age, the son of Buldar and Elmar, a woman of the "Fell Folk of the East" who had been taken prisoner by his father, and later wedded.
Hazad married late, due to the admiration he had for his late mother, Elmar. He fathered many children, including Tal-Elmar, which was his seventeenth child.
Along with his youngest son, he delivered the ill message to Mogru of Númenórean ships approaching the land of Agar.
Though he found pride in the number of his descendants, his greatest joy was his beard, long over five feet and, unlike his sons, ruly and close to him all the time. He was described as "short, though, harsh-tongued, heavy-handed and quick to violence". [1]
Etymology
Some analysts have noticed the similarity of Hazad with Dwarvish Khazâd, "Dwarves", and Adûnaic hazad, "seven". The name would then either mean "Dwarf (bearded, smaller one)" or "Seventh child", however, this remains speculation.[2]

In a penciled note J.R.R. Tolkien proposed that Buldar should be left out of the tale and Elmar be Hazad's wife.[3]
