* FourStarBadass: A fearsome warrior and Gondor's Captain-General, who held out against superior forces under the Witch-King until the last bridge at Osgiliath could be destroyed, then escaped by swimming across the Anduin. His stand had the result of delaying Sauron's invasion of Gondor for the better part of a year while he built up his forces, buying time for the Fellowship to assemble and embark on the quest of Mount Doom.

** Late in the story Legolas even admits that Gimli is, at times, better at this than he is: the only known instance of a Dwarf besting an Elf in a battle of words.

* WanderingWizard: Whenever he's not engaged in some worldsaving adventure, he spends his time traveling around Middle-Earth, only occasionally settling down for a few years here and there to provide his services where needed. Several of his nicknames even reference this, most notably "The Grey Wanderer."

Several of his nicknames even reference this, most notably "The Grey Wanderer."" Hobbits mostly know him as a wizard who stops by and causes ruckus every now and then.

* ArcherArchetype: He uses a bow almost exclusively -- the only other weapon he ever carries is a long knife (and a borrowed shield if you count that as a weapon). Like most Elves he's elegant and graceful with his chosen weapon. He also comes across as somewhat haughty.
* BashBrothers: With Gimli.

* HiddenDepths: Though he often behaves in a fashion typical of dwarfs (that is to say, boisterous and standoffish), he frequently surprises others - especially elves - with his silver tongue and reverence for natural beauty. He does it often enough to qualify as a RunningGag, but the very best examples are with Éomer and Galadriel. He also manages to stun Legolas with his description of the caves behind the Hornburg and speaks of them so poetically that Legolas - a wood elf - agrees to ''go back and see them'' once the War of the Ring is over.

** Among other instances, he's also got an iron will compared to some of the other members of both the Fellowship and their allies. The One Ring appears to have no effect on him and he suggests trying to destroy it as soon as he sees it, and Saruman's charms and silver tongue can't beguile him in the slightest.
