The Half-elves, or Peredhil, were people of
Elrond Half-elven was born in the Havens of Sirion in Beleriand, late in the First Age. His father was Eärendil, a great half-elven mariner who carried a star across the sky at the end of the First Age. Elrond's mother was Elwing, also known as Elwing the White, also half-elven.
Arwen is one of the half-elven who lived during the Third Age; her father was Elrond half-elven, lord of the Elvish sanctuary of Rivendell, while her mother was the Elf Celebrian, daughter of the Elf-queen Galadriel, ruler of Lothlórien. She marries the Man Aragorn, who becomes King of Arnor and Gondor.
Unlike Elrond, Galadriel is all Elf, and in fact she is a grand-daughter of one of the very first Elves created.
Half-elven (Sindarin singular Peredhel, plural Peredhil), are the children of the Union of Elves and Men. Half-elven are not a distinct race per se; rather, they were fertile offspring as the result of a union between Elves and Men. There are four recorded unions of the Eldar with the Edain.
Aragorn is not half Elf, although he is a descendant of Elros, who is half Elf (and the brother of Elrond, the half-Elf who raised him), which explains why Aragorn's life span is unusually long.
Legolas's people are a blend of Silvan and Sindar Elves. His grandfather, Oropher, was a refugee from the great Elven city of Doriath, which was destroyed in the terrible battle with Morgoth at the end of the First Age.
Elrond discovered the scroll that revealed that Halbrand couldn't be King of the Southlanders, so it's likely that he realized that Halbrand was Sauron and that he escaped. Knowing that Sauron is on the loose, he could warn the dwarves of the growing evil and encourage them to forge their own rings.
She already feels an outcast after Gil-galad tried to send her back to the Undying Lands, and she fears that if she reveals what she has done, it will be the final nail in the coffin. Instead, when Elrond pulls her from the river Glanduin, and she races back inside to Celebrimbor's forge, she chooses to stay silent.
In The Lord of the Rings, it is said that had Galadriel chosen to use her powers for evil instead of good, she would have been even more destructive and terrifying than Sauron himself. Galadriel was the greatest and most powerful of all Elves in Middle Earth in the Third Age.
Elrond has only Half-Elf, and he was once given the choice to be counted among Man or Elves. When he chose to be counted as Elven kind, he was then given immortality. Because Arwen is Elrond's daughter and also Half-Elf, she too has the choice to be a mortal woman or an immortal Elf.
Technically, Arwen is Aragorn's aunt, but it's not as weird as it sounds (at least within the context of Middle Earth). The romance and marriage of Arwen and Aragorn are unique in a variety of ways.
Yet no mortal can survive forever. And after their marriage, both Aragorn and Arwen are mortal. Arwen, therefore, could not set foot in the Undying Lands without special permission. And she wouldn't be likely to go after it in the end.
She joins them in Imaldris after they leave Eregion. There, Elrond falls in love with her, and during the Third Age, the two of them marry, making Galadriel Elrond's mother-in-law. By the tangled family trees of the various Elf clans, they're also cousins.
Elrond Was Essentially Aragorn's Father
Aragorn barely knew his father, Arathorn, who was killed when Aragorn was only two years old. Soon after, his mother, Gilraen, took her son to Rivendell, where Elrond took the place of his father and raised Aragorn as one of his own sons.
I'm reading the fall of Gondolin and at one point the citizens of the city are fleeing over a plain, they are led by Legolas Greenleaf (page 100 in my book). At the same time the son of Tuor and Idril Eärendil, is 8 years old, he is also the father of Elrond.
Sauron feared her
The author said that she was the “last remaining of the Great among the High Elves” in the Third Age, and consequently was the one person Sauron must have feared most among all his enemies in the War of the Ring.
Sauron Feared Galadriel
Tolkien also stated that Sauron saw Galadriel as his equal, and therefore, in his rise to power he feared that she would go after that power herself. As we saw in The Fellowship of the Ring, Galadriel told Frodo that the One Ring would consume her and turn her into a Dark Queen.
When, despairing of his ability to destroy the Ring, Frodo offers it to Gandalf, the wizard immediately refuses because he recognizes the danger: "the way of the Ring to my heart is through pity, pity for weakness and the desire of strength to do good." Because the Ring is evil, the wizard knows that any attempt to ...

After eight episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and tirelessly poring over hints, teases, and near-literal winks to the camera, the Amazon Prime Lord of the Rings prequel has finally revealed that we were all right, and that Sauron is in fact Halbrand (Charlie Vickers).
Sauron was a highly gifted Maia, originally an apprentice of Aulë. He was named Mairon and became skilled at crafting and making. Coveting the power through which he would coordinate all things according to his own will, he joined with Melkor.

Galadriel. One of the elves who lived in Middle Earth the longest was The Lady of Lothlorien, who arrived in the First Age and left in the Fourth. Galadriel's enigmatic abilities were tremendous, having learned magic from Valar and Maiar. All Middle Earth's races feared her, including men, dwarves, and Sauron's army.
