Galion was a Nandorin Wood-elf who served as the king's butler within the Woodland Realm of northern Mirkwood.
Biography[]
Galion serves as King Thranduil's butler and was likely one of his many servants. He was charged with shipping out the empty barrels of the king's cellars into the underground stream, which merged into the Forest River through the water-gate before flowing down the Long Lake to Lake-town. He was very fond of his wine. One evening in TA 2941, Galion tempted the chief of the guards into testing some Dorwinion wine with him. As a consequence, he fell asleep with the chief of the guards. This allowed the hobbit to steal the keys and release Thorin and Company from the king's dungeon. When some Elves returned from the king's feast, they found Galion and woke him up. When they noted the heaviness of some of the seemingly empty barrels, Galion ordered them to push the barrels into the water without question.[1]
