A soldier of Minas Tirith in Gondor, who befriended Peregrin Took during his time there, and was later appointed to the Guard of Faramir in Emyn Arnen. Notes 1 Only one son of Beregond (that is, Bergil) is mentioned in The Lord of the Rings, but another makes an appearance in The New Shadow (in The History of Middle-earth volume XII). This represents the beginning of a sequel to The Lord of the Rings set more than a century after the end of that book (though it never progressed far). One of its characters is an old man named Borlas of Pen-arduin, who is described as 'the younger son of Beregond, the first Captain of the Guard of Prince Faramir', an unmistakable reference to the Beregond of The Lord of the Rings.
