History: Halvarin was born in Pelargir to Lord Calamir and Lady Gilraenna on the 11th of Ringarë in the year 1395 of the 3rd Age. His mother was ill when he was born, and she died a few short months later, so Halvarin was tended to by a series of handmaidens in his young life. His father began taking him wherever he went, and Halvarin and grew up with the knowledge of the sea all around him.

Always a loyal Gondorian, Halvarin supported the Line of Kings even when that line was being called into question by most of the senior members of the Mariners Guild. When the Captains Guild eventually sided with the claims Castamir, the Master of Ships of Gondor, made not long after the death of King Valacar, Halvarin did. It denounce the new king, the half-Northman Eldacar. As a navigator apprentice, he did his best to plot his course to stay clear of the shoals of rebellion that brewed within the Mariners Guild. He reluctantly sided with the Guild and his father, but did not disavow King Eldacar. When open rebellion came and Castamir demanded his officers swear allegiance to him as King, Halvarin had to choose which side of the chasm to keep his feet. Unfortunately, his father had decided for him when they moved on Edhellond, the home of his childhood friend, Amarwen.
