Where can I find the back story for...

Argeus the Paladin

Grandmaster Knight
Noldor Lord Ithilrandir?

As the last time my request for input to RP as this character in a forum RP thread elsewhere fell on deaf ear, I believe I have to ask again.

Is there any official place I can find this? I'd prefer not to make things up, for Saxondragon had told me in an unrelated PM earlier "do not make things up".
 
SD has not divulged Ithilrandir's back story even to the Dev Team, so he does not have an official one.  If SD didn't tell you the story, he's the only one who knows it.  Same with Warlord Aeldarian.  As per game lore, the npc Lethaldiran is a member of the House of Ithilrandir who got the boot from the Warlord for duelling excessively and killing a favorite nephew of Ithilrandir's.  Ithilrandir hates humans more than Aeldarian, or it might be the reverse, I forget.  That's about it on the Noldor warlords.
 
I've made one deduction regarding Ith apart from the obvious: He has a huge extended family. This is because Leth said something to the effect of "one of his favorite nephews".

 
Yes, that must mean he has at least 3 nephews, assuming he has a couple of favorite ones, and a couple of brothers or sisters, plus some in-laws.  The Noldor are identified in the game as the "House of X", meaning they band together in groups based on blood and probably marriage relationships.  Though Noldor not related to a particular house might also swear fealty to that house.
 
You are not necessarily killing off a whole clan of Noldor - merely those who are the clan or house fighters.  Who knows, they may be breeding tons of little Noldor back home.

Oh horror. I better not wipe out the Jatu then - not like it is easy with 3 armies about. Which reminds me, why do Noldor hate Jatu?? Everyone (rumors) talks about it, but I wonder why...

I do remember walking through the Noldor woods recently and seeing no one after I had whacked the small parties (for Spirit Horse) and then kited their Lord into Jatu r***. I only feel a little bad - I actually thought he might be able to defeat an army by himself (he thought so too). Fortunately, they can't be wiped out.
