Fieldmarshal Eledhwen born to Thingol Orodrethion and Menlwen of Arthendien. He joined the military at a young age like all the sons of House Eledhwen have done before him, he was assigned to the 12th Dragoon Regiment, where he soon become a commander. He studied at the Eregion Military Institute and continued his education there until graduation. He then remained in the Dragoon Regiment for his carrier. In 1971, he was promoted to General of the Dragoon Legions. Though, traditionally Dragoons were mounted cavalry, in the world today the Dragoons are a tank regiment and only ride horses in ceremonial events.
During the Civil War, Eledhwen, a loyal son of Tomania, originally was following orders of the government in Imaldris, which at that time was the remnants of the Ardatomani. However, Maedhros Haldir convinced him that he and his men should join the Marduuk. Skeptical at first, Eledhwen soon joined the Marduuk and helped them in the Siege of Gondolin and the Siege of Eregion. Without, the Dragoon Tank Regiments under Eledhwen it is doubtful that the Marduuk would have taken key cities and regions during the war.
After the Civil War and the victory of the Marduuk, Maeglin Eledhwen was promoted to Fieldmarshal and in after the war against Acranania, Eledhwen was promoted to Minister of War. During his time as Minister of War, he re-organized the regiments, the army, the navy, and the air-force into a more efficient chain-of-command and declared that no matter one's cast, he can still become a general, admiral, or sky marshal.
Fieldmarshal Eledhwen was promoted to the honorary command of General of the Armies of the South and was granted a seat on the Council of Four.
