Powers and Abilities
Elrond is an exceptionally gifted warrior in battle and has commanded various armies of the Free Peoples well, including the Last Alliance. He is just as effective at leadership and gives much wise insight concerning various situations of Middle-earth, including the destruction of the Ring. He can use foresight to view lands and events far away from Rivendell. He is also adept at healing others, though whether this is through Athelas or Elven magic isn't exactly known (more likely the latter, though Battle for Middle-earth II employs both).
Elrond is one of the most incorruptible of leaders in the Middle-earth. Aragorn speculates that the few people capable of completely resisting Saruman's speech are Elrond, Galadriel, and Gandalf. He also opposed Sauron when Sauron offered partnership with the Elves.
Equipment:
Vilya:
It is generally considered that Vilya was the mightiest of these three bands. The exact power of Vilya is not mentioned; however it is reasonable to speculate that it also possesses the power to heal and to preserve (it is mentioned in The Silmarillion that Celebrimbor had forged the Three in order to heal and to preserve, rather than to enhance the strengths of each individual bearer as the Seven, Nine, and the lesser rings did). There is some speculation that the ring controlled minor elements.

History:
First Age
Elrond was the son of Eärendil and Elwing, and a great-grandson of Lúthien, he was born in the refuges of the Havens of Sirion in Beleriand late in the First Age, soon before its destruction by the Sons of Fëanor still making him well over 6,000 years old by the time of the War of the Ring. Elrond and his twin brother, Elros, were captured alive. This caused their parents to fear that they would be killed but instead they were taken up by the brothers Maedhros and Maglor and together raised him along with his twin brother. Maglor eventually released them, feeling sorry for them.
Second Age
Elrond's twin brother chose the Fate of Men and became Elros Tar-Minyatur, the first King of Númenor. Elrond chose to be counted among the Elves. His wife was the Lady Celebrian of Rivendell, who bore him three children. The first two children were twin brothers Elladan and Elrohir, and the third was Arwen Undómiel, future Queen of Gondor. Through his wife Celebrian, Lord Celeborn of Lothlorien was his father-in-law, and Lady Galadriel of Lothlorien was his mother-in-law.
Elrond went to Lindon with the household of Gil-galad, the last High King of the Ñoldor when Beleriand was destroyed at the end of the First Age, choosing (like his parents but unlike his brother) to be counted among the elves when the option of kindreds was given to him.
In the Second Age, he was sent to Eregion by Gil-galad, and after the destruction of Eregion, he fled into Eriador, where he founded Rivendell within a steep-sided valley, one of the last remaining strongholds against Sauron, with the remaining Ñoldor of Eregion. Upon this occasion, Gil-galad entrusted Elrond with Vilya, one of the elvish Three Rings.
Near the end of the Second Age the Last Alliance of Elves and Men set out from Rivendell to Mordor with Gil-galad in command of the Elven forces and Elendil and his sons in command of the forces of Men. The Army then traveled to Mordor, and for several months fought the Battle of Dagorlad, were they were joined by the Dwarves led by Dain, which eventually led to the defeat of Sauron's forces. Sauron himself was defeated when Isildur used Narsil to cut the One Ring from Sauron's finger which he claimed for himself. Before discovering that Isildur had claimed the One Ring Elrond went to find Gil-galad and, upon finding him dying on the battlefield, he was given a confession by Gil-galad about the true identity of the ring that he had given him many years ago, and that (unbeknownst to him) he had been the keeper of one of the three Elven Rings, Vilya.
Soon after revealing his information Gil-galad passed away. After grieving for Gil-galad, Elrond, with haste, went in search of Isildur. Upon finding him he tried to convince Isildur to throw the One Ring into the fires of Mount Doom, but the seduction of the ring made Isildur refuse and since Elrond said that he would not force the Ring from Isildur he left the problem to be dealt with by Men. After this was discussed the commanders, having defeated Sauron and the forces of Mordor, decided to head back to their own lands and see to their own affairs. Isildur was then named High King of Gondor and took his father's throne, while Elrond returned to Rivendell at the end of the war. There were tremendous losses on both sides of this conflict; the Last Alliance, in addition to losing Gil-galad, also lost Elendil, his younger son Anarion and countless other lives for both Men and Elves. The Orcs also lost countless numbers of lives which subdued their numbers until Sauron came back into power.
Third Age
In the year TA 109, he wedded Celebrían, daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel. In the year TA 130, twins were born named Elladan and Elrohir, and in TA 241 a daughter, Arwen Undómiel. He helped Thorin Oakenshield's expedition to recover the Lonely Mountain {Erebor} by discovering and translating the Moon Writing on Thorin's map.
