Half-elves are the children of elves and someone else -- most often humans. They are not as intelligent as pureblooded elves, but stronger, hardier and much more agile than humans. They can see in the dark, move silently, handle the elven bow well, and retain a knack for both elven dialects, Quenya and ahenn.

The fate of half-elves is unenviable -- they are often looked down on and called half-bloods by humans and elves alike. High Elves feel revulsion toward outsiders, going as far as open racism, and zealously guard their traditions and customs, so they despise and consider outcast the children of mixed marriages. As for humans, they are not overly fond of arrogant and pretentious elves, so they often make them targets of mockery.
