Berean is a character from Tolkein's The Silmarilion, the pre-history to The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
He was a man that married an elf, producing the ancestors of the Numenorean line, Aragorn's forbears.
I think its Beren, though.
No, that was Beren. I think Berean was a character from that Monty Python movie, The Life of Berean.
