Baldor was the eldest son of King Brego of Rohan and brother of Aldor. Proud and brave, he attempted to pass through the Paths of the Dead after making a vow before his peers at the feast in commemoration of the completion of the Meduseld. He died in cursed caves above Dunharrow in T.A. 2570, and it was not until Aragorn Elessar's successful journey along the underground road that his body was found.
