Recap since we're on a new page - the clue was dauntless.
1. Yes, someone who would have been considered brave
2. Yes, an elf
3. No, doesn't have a known/named weapon
4. No, not portrayed by an actor who chased Jack Sparrow
5. Yes, was alive during the forging of the Great Rings
6. No, did not see the light of the two trees
7. Yes, they were the son of someone who had seen the light of the two trees
8. I would say no, they were not physically present in the Lord of the RIngs, although this might spark an argument later...
