Camaron was a Silvan elf who lived in the vast halls of the Aradhrynd under the rule of King Thranduil, son of Oropher. He served as Ward Captain overlooking the woods just north of the point where the Men-i-Naugrim (S. "Way of Dwarves") entered the foothills of the Mountains of Mirkwood (S. "Emyn-nu-Fuin").
