Available today on Amazon Prime Video, the sixth episode of The Rings of Power series, adapted from the works of JRR Tolkien, has many surprises and many revelations in store.
In addition to the tumultuous past of the Elf/Uruk Adar, the truth about the evil sword discovered by young Theo, the great battle between Númenor and the Orcs of the Southlands, and the spectacular eruption of Mount Doom, this new chapter is full of adventure. developed Halbrand’s character.
Introduced in episode 2 of the series (where he met Galadriel on the scepter in the middle of the sea), this mysterious character would – according to his emblem – be the rightful ruler of the lands of Sud that he left behind. unknown circumstances. But the place he occupies in the story seems to leave him to an even more ambitious fate.
When he resumes the kingship at the end of episode 6, focus on this mysterious hero. Who is he really? Or rather, who will he become in future seasons of The Rings of Power?
As is often the case in such situations, many fan theories about Halbrand’s identity have flourished on the Internet. If some see in him the future Nazgul (these 9 kings of men who are corrupted by the rings of power), others argue that he is a sincere Sauron, disguised to remain unnoticed and penetrate the kingdom of Númenor (a hypothesis that supports the blacksmith’s talent. ).
As for us, we prefer to see in Halbrand the ancestor of the most prestigious bloodline of Middle-earth: the famous kingdom of Rohan.
Indeed, given the cataclysm that befalls the Southern Lands (which would become Mordor) at the end of Episode 6, we can imagine the survivors, led by Halbrand, moving north and eventually settling in the western plains at the edge of Fangorn Forest to become the ancestors of the Rohirrim.
For example, this would explain the special agreement of the names of the inhabitants of Tirharadh in the southern lands, which are very reminiscent of the names of the Rohan characters in The Lord of the Rings. So Bronwyn’s first name is definitely reminiscent of Éowyn’s. As for Theo, he is certainly a downer of Theoden.
Moreover, when we take a closer look at the armor that Halbrand wears during the episode 6 battle, we can see that it looks very similar to the future form of the Rohirrim, with metal scales embedded in them. Finally, the hilt of his sword represents the head of a club. It’s only one step away from making him the ancestor of the famous horse lords!
