Legolas is a character from The Lord of the Rings trilogy (both books and films). In the films, he is played by Orlanda Bloom and is known to say the line 'They'
re taking the hobbits to Isenguard!' Which in
fact created a very famous remix on
youtube.
He is a member of the Fellowship of the Ring, a group of Nine companions (Frodo Baggins the ring bearer, Samwise Gamgee, Meriodoc Brandybuck, Perigrin Took, Aragron, Son of Arathorn, Isildur's heir and her of kings, Gandalf the Grey, Boromir of Gondor, Gimli of the
Lonely Mountain (Erebor) and Legolas Tranduilion)
The Fellowship is there to
help Frodo get the ring to Mordor.
Legolas is the Prince of Greenwood, which became Mirkwood during the journey of the Company of Thorin Oakenshield ( Read the Hobbit) as evil started to return to the Forest.
Some people mistake his surname as Greenleaf which is actually the translation of his name from elvish (forgive me since I
don't know if it's Sindarin or Quenya). Yes, Legolas does actually mean Greenleaf.
His official title is Legolas Thrandullion which means Legolas, Son of Thranduil (The great Elvin king Of Greenwood)
He has no surname for he is an elf. Only titles. This should surprise the
fanfiction authors who have their Mary-Sues marry him and take on the surname 'Greenleaf'.
And I am actually a
female writing this so
BAZINGA.
Aragorn: Legolas, what do your elf eyes see?
Legolas: They'
re taking the Hobbits to Isenguard!
Aragorn: Legolas, what do your elf eyes see?
Legolas: Mary-Sues who want to marry me! Lots of them! RUN!
Mary-
Sue: I want to me Mrs. Greenleaf!
Me: It's actually Legolas Thranduilion. Also, it's his title not his surname!
Muggle, you should be thrown into Mount Doom!
