Telvon, born at the end of the Years of the Trees before the birth of the Sun and Moon, was a child of a scribe of Menegroth and a fair maiden of North Beleriand (Mithrim). He dwelt in Doriath as one of the hunters in the lodges at the borders of the forests of Doriath.

Like most of his fellow kinsmen he was a woodsman clad in leather, armored with a longbow and often a longsword in one hand and an Mithrim axe in another, he cut orcs, goblins and other beasts that tried to make their way to the hidden kingdom. He fought in the army of Thingol in the First Battle of Beleriand. During the reign of Dior, son of Beren and Luthien, he was given the title "Knight of Doriath". No longer he dwelt in the lodges at the borders, but instead he was a Knight of the order that Turin Turambar once wanted to join. Shiny grey silver was his new armour, and in the few years that the kingdom lasted under the second and last king, he was a proud defender of Doriath.

He fought and survived in the second kinslaying. With despair and grief he, like some Sindar, traveled far to the lands of the wood-folk of Lindórinand (now Lothlorien). There he embraced the simple life and culture of the wood elves. When the king of Lorien, Amdir (also a Sindar) responded to the summons of Gil-Galad, last king of the Noldor, Telvon traveled among the army of Lorien and fought in the battle of the last alliance. These days he lives to protect Middle Earth, that he loves, from the growing shadow, despite of knowing that he is doomed to fade if he stays in the mortal shores.

Like many Sindar he shows: (sometimes) disrespect toward dwarves, the slaying of his king is marked in his heart; love and respect toward the race of men, he knows that some are indeed worthy of praise (Beren, Turin, Huor, Elendil); and of course distrust toward feanorian Norldor (the kinslayers). Many Elves (both Sindar and Noldor) perished during the 2nd and 3d kinslaying, notably the King Telvon served Dior Elchuil and the parents of Telvon. But like all elves and like the Mighty Valar in the Undying Land, he forgave the Noldor for their sins, and speak very rarely of the fall of Doriath. He also forgave the Naugrim, he knows that the ones that have slain Thingol were the folks of Nogrod, the Firebeards, and those are very rare these days. Yet he is very carfull when dealing with the fiery Feanor-folk or the greedy Naugrim.

Notes: The Mother Name: Telvon can be translated into english as "The Silver One", In sindarin it would be something like Celebon, but the name is in Ilkorin, a language that was first designed to be the tongue of the Sindar but later was removed and became the Mithrim Sindarin dialect (Ilkorin is also close to Avarin) Telvon is an amilessë , or mother name, his mother after giving birth could see the future of her child: a silver knight of Doriath.

Epesse (after Name): Authanar in Doriathrin Sindarin: Battle Brother. Telvon often rode to the forest of Brehil to defend and help the Edain (men) that dwelt there. They often saw Telvon riding on his horse and coming to their aid. So they called him "The Battle Brother" or Authanar and it became his after name.
