Background
Laerthan's forefathers were the elendili of Númenor. After the destruction of Westernesse, they followed Elendil and took part in the construction of Arnor.
Laerthan is a third son and the second youngest child of a North Downs farmer. When he was sixteen, his family farm was burnt down and his siblings (save one) were slaughtered by roaming orcs. By chance, his parents happened to be elsewhere when the attack occurred. His parents are nowhere to be found. Only Laerthan and his little sister survived the attack. Laerthan and his sister witnessed orcs cutting his brother's throat. His oldest brother bought them time to escape the orcs, but perished while doing so.
Laerthan and his sister searched refuge in Esteldín. Now Laerthan follows Halbarad and his ranger-warriors.
