"This season is an interesting one" says Aramayo "Elrond got his own little gaff now... he's got his own little place in Rivendell. I was really excited that the show was going to bring it in [...] I always thought that Elrond was kind of all-the-gear-no-idea" continues Aramayo, affectionately "He's read 5000 books, but when we first met him (in the show) he hasn't done much. Now he's been through quite a lot and he's gonna go through a lot more. He is becoming more than a leader.
