Halfast Gamgee
History
Halfast was the son of Halfred, an uncle of Samwise Gamgee. He worked for Mr. Boffin in Overhill, and often went up in the Northfarthing to hunt.
He had the reputation for his wild stories of things he saw. He reportedly encountered a "Tree-man" while hunting beyond the North Moors.
Sam mentioned this gossip to Ted Sandyman while discussing the queer news heard in the Shire around Third Age 3018.
Etymology
The name likely comes from Old English hālfæst meaning "hale and firm".
