The Difficult King

• King of Rohan
• Posted by Brian Cox

The legendary Brian Cox has a powerful voice, and he brings a lot of presence to his portrayal of Helm Hammerhand.

Though exhausted and surprised by Wulf's army, Helm continues to fight for his home until the end. His legacy is indestructible. Although he lacks leadership qualities when needed, his story is still filled with brutality. But in truth, Helm is a kind man who loves his children and his family.

The faces of the people of Rohan

• Squire at the Court of Rohan
• Voice of Bilal Hasna

Although he wasn't mentioned much in the build-up to the War of the Rohirrim, Lief is a great character and has a lot to do. Although the Hornburg is full of terrified residents throughout the film, the Liefs are the face of their fear, and are a force that comes together to try to calm the people and escape the castle as the war reaches its height. .

Lief is a simple character, who can easily be seen by the audience as frustrated or disorganized. But he is brave and ready to fight for the protection that was entrusted to him. The lief is a symbol of Rohan's heart, the people who make up his place. Although he does not fight himself, he is very useful to the actors.

The heir apparent

• Son of Helm & Brother of Hera
• Voice of Yazdan Qafouri

Wulf

Rejected & Rejected for revenge

• Lord of the High Dunlendings
• Posted by Luca Pasqualino

Although Wulf begins by begging Héra to marry him before their fathers quarrel, he is repeatedly rejected and allowed to be banished by the King of Rohan. However, this does not stop him from continuing his path of vengeance and gathering an army as the Dunlending people ascend to the position of High Lord, and there are familiar faces in his army as well.

Wulf is difficult. He starts out moderate and measured, able to build an army effectively and win battles against the likes of Helm Hammerhand. However, he becomes unruly as the film progresses, perhaps out of frustration with the siege his army is locked in, or perhaps because he is preoccupied with Hera in particular, a path fraught with danger for him.

General Targg

Mind of the Great Warrior

• A general in Wulf's army
• Edited by Michael Wildman

Although Wulf does a great job of summoning troops from the Dunlending people, the real mastermind behind most of the attacks on the King of Rohan is revealed later. Wulf's army begins to crumble as he begins to heed his revenge on the advice of his first advisor.

General Targg is happy to help in Wulf's campaign, perhaps out of loyalty to the Dunlending people or personal hatred of Helm Hammerhand. It was possible that if Wulf had continued to listen to this calm military expert, he could have taken all of Rohan for himself.

• Edited by Laurence Ubong Williams

There are many warriors and heroes throughout the history of Rohan. Even then War of the Rohirrim mostly about Hera, it is her cousin whose name is better remembered in history.

But Fréaláf arrives in time, when Héra pleads for help through a giant eagle. He saves the day by defeating Wulf's fleeing army.

In both cases, Olwyn proves that she is still a shield girl and a formidable fighter.

Héra takes charge of Hornberg after her father disappears. He fights Wulf one by one, constantly opposing him, and is a big part of his frustration at making the mistakes that lead to the destruction of his army. Héra is a popular Middle Earth character and immediately cemented her place in the franchise's history with this feature, whether or not she appears again.
