Landroval was a descendant of Thorondor. It was said that Landroval and his brother Gwaihir helped Thorondor rescue Beren and Lúthien from Angband.[1]

Together with Gandalf, Gwaihir and Meneldor, he also rescued Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee from Mordor after the completion of the Quest of the Ring.[3]
