Aegnor son of Finarfin

Aegnor was the fourth of the five children of Finfarfin and Earwen, the others being Finrod, Orodreth, Angrod, and Galadriel. Despite their father's return to Valinor following the Prophecy of the North, he and his brothers remained caught up in Doom of the Noldor and continued on to Middle-earth in pursuit of Morgoth and the Silmarils. Aegnor's friendship for the sons of Fingolfin tied him to this sad quest, during which he perished. Although less reckless and aggressive than the sons of Feanor or Fingolfin, he nevertheless embodied the Noldo qualities of pride, bravery, and curiosity. Upon returning to Endor, Aegnor settled on the slopes of Dorthonion with Angrod. This they held in fief from Finrod, to whom they swore allegiance. Because these grassy, windswept hills lay along the northernmost point of the line of defense against Morgoth, the brothers lived amidst an omnipresent danger. It was hardly surpising that they were among the first to fall in the Fourth Battle ("Battle of Sudden Flame"; S. Dagor Bragollach) against the Black Enemy.

Aegnor was a prince of the Noldor. Extremely tall (7*0"), he enjoyed a warror's build and the fair features of the House of Finarfin. His blond hair sparkled in the moonlight and his blue eyes gleamed in the heat of battle.
