Haldir Halad (S."Hidden Hero") was the son of Halmir and the fifth Lord of the Second House in Brethil. He married Gloredhel of Dor-lomin, a woman of the Third House, at the same ceremony in which Haldir's sister Hareth wed Galdor. Haldir led the Men of Brethil into the Fifth Battle against Morgoth, where he died fighting on behalf of the Union of Maedhros as part of Fingon's rearguard. His eldest son, Handir, succeeded him, while his adopted sons—Húrin and Huor — became two of the greatest figures in the history of the Edain.
