In briefanswer capsule

Gelmir was an Elf of Angrod’s people and is named as a messenger to Nargothrond. He was brother to Gwindor, son of Guilin, and perished in the Dagor Bragollach. Grief for that loss later drove Gwindor, against Orodreth’s will, to lead a small company from Nargothrond into the northern war; they bore Fingolfin’s badge and marched under Fingon’s banners.
