I would like a hint, because I cannot think of any or the men of the Edain in the First Age who meets all these criteria so I am a bit stuck :-D

No worries, this is a very minor character. 
This character's "return" was controversial, and was preceded by a hotly contested debate.

(I might also specify that for this character's role in the story, leaving and returning are not necessarily two different things.)

@Drifa, that's correct! It was indeed Bereg, one of the leaders of the anti-Elvish discontent among the Edain at Estolad, who (unlike Amlach) led a contingent of his people back to Eriador.

what
Is this ... actually a discrete object, or it is a class or set of objects, encompassing multiple different physical things within Middle-earth?
I've been absent from this thread largely because I have no idea how to parse answers like "some are bigger and some are smaller" in the context of a game where we're (presumably) trying to figure out what a specific item is.
