Can anyone tell me why, in The Silmarillion, It clearly says that Glorfindel of Gondolin dies fighting off a Balrog, but in FOTR, Glorfindel is the one who carries Frodo on his horse to Rivendel? Is there more than one Glorfindel?

R.S.V.P.

no

The only speculation I know of regarding Gildor, is when he came to Middle-earth. Michael Martinez, I believe theorized that Gildor is possibly the son of Finrod and Amarie and came to Middle-earth sometime in the Second Age. However, when he meets Frodo he says that they are Exiles, which implies, IMO, that he came with the Noldor across the Ice.

he is not their son
he IS of the house, and IS a Noldor

OOhh I missed all these threads!
And I feel the same way. I thought he was one of the coolest characters before I knew he slew the Balrog!!! Maybe it's because of the way Tolkien presents him!
