Elros The Guard

Elros the Guard is a character, an Elf of Mirkwood, in two of Peter Jackson's trilogy of films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. The character appears in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and will appear in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

Peter Jackson's The HobbitEdit
Elros was the "Master of Keys," a dungeon guard in Thranduil's Elven stronghold in Mirkwood, and also the guard's leader. In The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, he appears in a scene in which Bilbo, using the Ringon his finger to hide himself, steals the dungeon cell keys from him Galion and Feren while they are drunk and asleep. A similar scene occurs in Tolkien's novel The Hobbit, but the guards are not named in the book.
