Tar-Telemmaitë was the 15th ruler of Númenor. The King was known for his love of silver and sent many expeditions to Middle-earth in search of mithril. He ruled Númenor for 140 years. "Hereafter the Kings ruled in name from the death of their father to their own death, though the actual power passed often to their sons or counsellors; and the days of the descendants of Elros waned under the Shadow" (p. 221, Unfinished Tales).
