[edit] History
He was a Man of noble Númenórean descent, and served under King Minardil[1] and laboured greatly on Gondor's behalf in the days of the Great Plague.[2]
He became known as the founder of the House of Húrin from which Minardil's heirs came by tradition to select their own Stewards. By the time of the loss of Gondor's last King, Eärnur, some four centuries later, the Stewardship had become a powerful hereditary institution, ready to take over in place of the Kings.[1]
