Hadhod

Hadhod is a Dwarf of the clan of Fundin, he hoped that someday he would become a great warrior. He is a good friend of Elegost and is an asset to Berethor's company.

Family

Little is known of Hadhod's family except for his sons, who both ventured with Balin, it was said that they were killed by Trolls.

Fellowship

During the time of the death of his sons, he would meet and befriend Elegost, a Dúnedain. They soon became travel companions and stayed for a while until a group of orcs and an bewitched avalanche separated them. Elegost remained in the pass, hunting wargs, until his meeting with Berethor and Idrial.

It seems that Hadhod is also friendly with Berethor, Morwen and Eaoden, but appears to share the elf-dwarf prejudice with Idrial, unlike the friendship of Legolas and Gimli. However, in some cases, they seem to share tolerence with each other. In either case, he ceases calling her a witch. They may even develop a similar bonding as that of Legolas and Gimli.

He is incredibly strong and steadfast. His axe will cleave through many of the most powerful of enemies in the game (not to mention the devastating effect of his spirit powers, if trained properly), and his defence and constitution will make sure he survives even the greatest blows, making him good to use against the more powerful enemies like the Mûmakil and Trolls. However, his magic resistance and his action pool are rather low, unlike the other members of the company, meaning he probably shouldn't face foes like the Nazgûl shadow chieftains.

Weapons

Hadhod used several weapons with his time in Berethor's group. To this end he used several axes and even the mighty hammer of Helm Hammerhand, one of the former kings of Rohan. Before the battle of the Hornburg, he and Elegost found this mighty hammer. Elegost concluded Helm wanted to repay the dwarves for their tribute into creating Helms Deep. Hadhod replied "some deeds need no thanks, but this was almost too easy," and gladly accepted the hammer. He also used several axes his kin Gimli used, probably Gimli dropped some axes and thus Hadhod picked them up and used them with the same deadliness.
