Hold the phone!  I'm convinced the answer is Othar.  He is the squire of
Isildur.  He was travelling with Isildur at Gladden Fields when
Isildur's party was ambushed by Orcs.  The entire warband was slain, and
Isildur was betrayed when the ring slipped off his finger.  HOWEVER...
Narsil, the Sword that was Broken, was carried away by Othar the Squire,
along with the tale of the grim onslaught.  Its either that or a
reference to the new X-men story line....
