Orophin

Orophin was a Silvan Marchwarden from Lothlórien, and the brother of Haldir and Rúmil.
== Biography ==
Orophin guarded the western border of Lothlórien at the time of the War of the Ring. He stood guard with other Elves, including his brothers Haldir and Rumil.The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two, Chapter VI: "Lothlorien"
Like Rúmil, Orophin knew very little Westron; therefore, he associated little with the Fellowship of the Ring. When Haldir saw Gollum rustling through the trees near where the hobbits stayed for the night, Orophin left his brothers to warn the Galadhrim.
