Kevin Eldon as Narvi
Kevin Eldon joins the cast of ‘The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power’ as Narvi, a great dwarf described by J.R.R. Tolkien as a master craftsman and expert in smithing. Known for creating the famous Doors of Durin on the west side of Khazad-dûm alongside his close friend Celebrimbor, Narvi is a character who, although only briefly mentioned in Tolkien’s appendices, has been brought to life in the series. Owain Arthur, returning as Prince Durin IV of Khazad-dûm, shared insights about Narvi’s role, stating, “He’s weaving in and out of the action throughout the season. He’s a fantastic architect and an adviser, the right-hand man of King Durin.” Eldon elaborated on his character’s arc, saying, “Narvi faces a profound dilemma as the king falls under the power of the rings, showing signs of madness. He must choose between loyalty to the king and loyalty to Khazad-dûm, leading to a pivotal moment in his journey.”
