Ouch!!! I think I missed again... :) I've been thinking about it, and the
Men are called "the second", not "the third", so it can't be Aragorn.
Better try "Legolas" (son of Thranduil, prince of the Sylvan Elves, the
third ones into the elven family, and as a Sylvan Elve, quite untamable.
The grey word could refer to Gandalf...).

Note: maybe some names are not right, but I have only read the Spanish
versions of Tolkien's books. I tried to translate the names the best I
could. Sorry if I missed any of them...
