Also known as: Lord Of Andunie
The last lord of Andunie, father of Elendil and grandfather of Isildur and Anarion, and the leader of the Faithful of Numenor in its final days. He had been a friend of Ar-Pharazon and a great captain of the sea, but was dismissed from the king's council at Sauron's urging as the shadow deepened. When he learned of the king's design to assail Valinor itself, Amandil resolved to repeat the deed of Earendil: he sailed west into the forbidden sea to plead with the Valar for mercy upon the Faithful, and was never heard of again. Whether his embassy was received none know — but his son's ships alone rode out the Downfall, and Tolkien suggests the grace shown to Elendil may have been Amandil's answer.
