8. No, this character never met a hobbit (or any other Hobbit-type creature a la Gollum's riverfolk) while in Middle-earth.

We went to a new page, so to quickly update...

Clue: Lightning

1. This is not a character in the Hobbit book or in any of the Hobbit movies.
2. If this character was struck by lightning 100 times, they would not live.
3. This character does not appear only in LotR
4. At times, the character has a thunderous voice, but I don't think all the time.
5. Lightning is a reference to an event in the character's life.
6. Not counted as one of the Maiar (nor would they be considered a Maia-like-spirit).
7. It is an Elf
8. Never met a hobbit (or hobbit-like creature).

Incorrect guesses so far: Gandalf, Beleg Strongbow

Man just when I was going to guess Glorfindel :smiley8:

But my next guess, although I'm trying to figured out the Lightning connection...is it Gil-galad?

I'll give you credit for both guesses, as both guesses get the same answer - they are incorrect. It is neither Glorfindel nor Gil-Galad.

Was this elf still alive in the 3rd age?

Is it Fingolfin?

Does this person have a named horse?

@Almarëa Mordollwen is correct, it is Fingolfin!

From the quote:

Then Morgoth hurled aloft Grond, the Hammer of the Underworld, and swung it down like a bolt of thunder. But Fingolfin sprang aside, and Grond rent a mighty pit in the earth, whence smoke and fire darted. Many times Morgoth essayed to smite him, and each time Fingolfin leaped away, as lightning shoots from under a dark cloud; and he wounded Morgoth with seven wounds, and seven times Morgoth gave a cry of anguish, whereat the hosts of Angband fell upon their faces in dismay, and the cries echoed in the Northlands.
