Earendil

A leader of Men in the First Age, father of Elrond and Elros. He took the last of the Silmarils (the one taken by Beren) to valinor and pleaded mercy to the Valar for the sins of the Elves and Men. This resulted in the last battle of the War of the Silmarils that ended the First Age. He sails a heavenly ship as a star that shines with the light of his Silmaril.
