Who is Tolkien's Cirdan Shipwright and what is he hiding from fans of legendarium?

almost the only elf in Arda and all fantasy worlds who wore a beard and managed to survive to the third Elven cycle serin's real name was nove he became known as cin shipright because of his skill in building ships cin is very tall and has silver hair and a long Gray beard this is very unusual for elves it is said that only very old elves who entered the third life cycle had beards by the end of the third age cerin was over 10,000 years old he may have been the oldest elf left in Middle Earth certain may have come from quanin the lake in Middle Earth where the elves awakened but it is unlikely that he was one of The Unborn serin was related to El and olwe who were brothers and therefore most likely were not unborn themselves if he was related to them by blood that means he must have had Parents perhaps serin was born to the quanin before the great Trek to the immortal lands began serin was one of the Telly who were led by El and during the Great Trek El lost his way he met and fell in love with melan and stayed in Middle Earth after an unsuccessful search for his brother ol led many of the terer away to the immortal lands but some including serin remained according to one Legend seran wanted to follow alwa on a ship he had built but was warned by the Vala during the first battle of ban C's people were cut off by morath's armies from helping fingle and only unexpected help in the form form of the ner of house theor returning to middlee Earth saved the fatum people as well as other synar from complete extermination serin was friendly to the ner and was at the reunion Feast at the beginning of the first age when word of the ner Deeds began to spread in band seran relayed what he had heard to fingle seran and his people maintained their friendship with the ner of the second and third houses when fingan was attacked from the rear by morath's Orcs And hithlum serin and his subject came from the sea across drenis Bay and struck the Orcs in the rear defeating them after the devastation of the harbors seran fled with Gil galled to the Isle of Baylor after the destruction of ban during the war of Wrath the remainder of serin's people who did not wish to cross over to valinor settled on the Northwestern shores of Middle Earth at the foot of the AED Luan mountains where grey Harbors was founded in the first year of the second age in the Bay of moons their seran and his people built many ships on which elves tired of life in Middle Earth sailed to the immortal lands certain ships carried the edane to numer an island created for them by the Vala as a reward for their help in the war against morgoth in the 600th year of the second age a sailor from newer named Vian sailed to the gry harbors for the first time and soon he brought his grandson alderan the future king of numer alderan became curtain's friend and the elf taught him much about ship building for many years that followed curan welcomed Sailors from newer with joy in the year 1,693 the elves hid the three rings from Saron who created the one ring to rule over all the other rings of power two of them were given to Gil galled and one naria he gave to curtain saran's armies invaded arodor and then the enemy attempted to seize the grey Harbors as well but the fleet of numer arrived and his armies were repulsed at the end of the second age curan traveled to Mordor with the army of the last Alliance of men and elves Saron was defeated but Gil galled and elendel died in the process elendel son ilder cut the one ring from sauron's hand elen and serin advised him to destroy the ring in the fires of Mount Doom but iseler refused a few years later iseler was killed and the ring was lost serin returned to Grey Harbor with the remnants of Gil gad's Army around the thousandth year of the third age in Middle Earth the five Mages arrived in Grace Harbor they were messengers of the Vala from The Immortal lands coming to help the people of Middle Earth in their fight against saon the last to arrive was Gandalf but seran saw that he was the greatest of the five and gave him naria around the year 1,300 Lord nasgul saran's worst servant founded the kingdom of

ship to rescue arui but the ship sank caught in a terrible snowstorm the king and crew perished soon a large Fleet from Gondor arrived in Grace Harbor Ser gathered the elves of lyen and with the remaining dunan they defeated Lord nasgo at the Battle of fost after this the dunan became a Wandering people and certain kept the paler of elerion once belonging to elendel this paler looked only Westward to the Tower of Avalon which was located on tol essia in the immortal lands when it was suspected that saaron had returned and settled in the Fortress of dolger in the dark plans the white Council was convened to counter this threat seran was a member of the council which also included Eland Galadriel Gandalf and cuman the white Council banished Saron from DOL Golder but he secretly fled to Mordor at the next Council seran sent an elf named Galder to rivendel Galder attended the Council of Eland where it was decided that Frodo would travel to Mordor to destroy the one ring in the fires of the Fatal Mountain the ring was destroyed and saran's Kingdom fell along with the third Age The Time Of The Elves in Middle Earth was ending and the age of men was coming serin and his Sailors built the ships that would take the elves Beyond the Sea serden took a particularly long time to build the white ship and the paler of eleron was loaded aboard it in the year 321st serin met Gandalf again in the grey Havens Gandalf boarded the ship with Galadriel Eland Bilbo and froto as the Guardians of the Rings sailed out of Middle Earth Ser on the other hand remained in gry's Harbor to await the departure of the elves who still lived in Middle Earth at the beginning of the 4th age and when The Last Ship finally left gr's Harbor seran was also able to go to the immortal lands incidentally we were shown a glimpse of ser at the end and beginning of the movie The Lord of the Rings
