Born in TA 2245, Hador was the only child of his father Túrin I.

Following the death of his father, Túrin I, in TA 2278 Hador became the seventh Ruling Steward of Gondor, and the seventh steward to rule during the era known as the Watchful Peace. Hador ruled Gondor until his death in TA 2395 at the age of 150 years old after a rule of one-hundred and seventeen years. Upon his death he was succeeded by his son Barahir.

During his time as Steward and the three hundredth anniversary of the Steward's Reckoning, the calendar system created by Mardil Voronwë was modified by him adding one day to it to make it more accurate to suit the times.
