Malbeth the Seer

Malbeth the Seer was a Dúnadan of Arnor, and a royal counsellor of Arthedain who lived in the time of kings Araphant and Arvedui. Per his name, he was known for his powers of a seer.
==Biography==
When King Araphant's son was born in TA 1864, he persuaded him to name him Arvedui which meant Last king. He prophesied that either Arvedui would change his name and become king of a great realm or that many lives of men would pass until the same chance arose. This foretold the succession crisis in Gondor, when following the death of King Ondoher in TA 1944, Arvedui unsuccessfully claimed the throne.
He made at least two prophecies, one concerning Arvedui and the other about Aragorn II. He foretold that Arvedui would be the last king until Aragorn and that he would ride the Paths of the Dead.
About Aragorn, he prophesied:
:Over the land there lies a long shadow,
:westward reaching wings of darkness.
:The Tower trembles; to the tomb of kings
:doom approaches. The Dead awaken;
:for the hour is come for the oathbreakers:
:at the Stone of Erech they shall stand again
:and hear there a horn in the hills ringing.
:Whose shall the horn be? Who shall call them
:from the grey twilight, the forgotten people?
:The heir of him to whom the oath they swore.
:From the North shall he come, need shall drive him:
:he shall pass the Door to the Paths of the Dead.The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Book Five, Chapter II: "The Passing of the Grey Company"The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I: The Númenórean Kings, (iii): "Eriador, Arnor, and the Heirs of Isildur"
