Irolas

# 
Irolas was a Man of Gondor and an officer of Minas Tirith during the last years of the Third Age. 
He is a non-canonical character, not appearing in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, but invented for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. 
== Biography ==
He first appears when Faramir returns from Osgiliath following the battle where the city is overrun. He cries out that Denethor has foreseen the doom of Men at the hand of the Orcs, but Gandalf decries that Denethor has done nothing in response to his foresight. 
He appears later when retrieving the wounded body of Faramir following the disastrous attempt to retake Osgiliath. He leads the party that brings Faramir's unconscious body to the High Court of Minas Tirith, hurrying the group along. He is visibly stunned when Denethor despairs and orders all posts abandoned, before Gandalf knocks Denethor out and assumes control. 
== Behind the scenes ==
Irolas is clearly intended as a replacement for the original character Beregond, suggested by his Citadel Guard armour and his reaction (alongside Peregrin Took) to Denethor's despair. For unknown reasons, his character was renamed by Peter Jackson.
A Minas Tirith guard named Iorlas also appears in the film, stationed at the city's entrance. As Faramir, injured, is brought into Minas Tirith by his horse, the subtitles say: "Iorlas: Open the gate quick! " This occurrence is correct. Earlier in the film, however, when Irolas is making an announcement, the subtitles incorrectly give Iorlas' name.
