My first move was to remove, This affected the fates of many.
For my next feat I kept the mouths of the south at bay.
Finally I gave refuge, before I was swept far away.

Good luck, riddlers!

I'm stumped on this one too. It sounds like some of Gondor's rulers to me (removed the capital, "mouths" of the Harad, gave refuge to the people of Rohan, lost at sea), but not just one in particular who did all of this.
