Huinen the Seer was an ancient Noldorin Elf, who dwelled in southern Mirkwood until the dying days of the Third Age. His origins were unclear, though he may have been one of the Exiles who had followed Feanor to Middle Earth in the Elder Days. He was once the Grey Elf Oropher's friend and confidant, it can be presumed that he followed that Sindarin prince east following the War of Wrath. What befell Huinen is unknown, but at least one source says that he followed Gildor Inglorion to Rivendell, and from there to the Grey Havens, and then home into the Uttermost West.
