anghraine:Leslie Howard as Manwë Súlimo, lord of winds, king over the Valar, brother to Morgoth, husband to Elbereth, patron of the Vanyar.Manwë is dearest to Ilúvamil and understands most clearly her purposes. He was appointed to be, in the fullness of time, the first of all kings: lord of the realm of Arda and ruler of all that dwell therein. In Arda his delight is in the winds and clouds, and in all the regions of the air … All swift birds, strong of wing, he loves, and they come and go at his bidding.
