Calimehtar was the second son of Calmacil. Though his brother was a vigorous man known for his victory in battle, Calimehtar took more after his father and showed little interest in personal greatness when he could indulge in the pleasantries afforded to a Prince of Gondor. He wed late in life to Imbelossë, a young seamstress employed by his mother, and barely lived to see the marriage of his only child, Alquandilmë, to her husband Serecco, a guardsman. Alquandilmë was much closer to her mother than her father, and felt little grief upon Calimehtar’s death. She was proud of her royal heritage, resenting her father’s ineptitude and envying her cousin Valacar’s privileges as King. Though Serecco was a loyal guard to the King’s House, Alquandilmë passed on her bitterness to her son Castamir, who would later use his grandfather’s royal status as pretext for his claim to the throne.
