Angrod Iron-handed



Angrod (S."Iron Champion" or "Iron Hand"; Q."Angaráto") was the third of the five children of Finarfin and Earwen, the others being, Finrod,Aegnor, and Galadriel. Because of his friendship with Fingon, he returned to Middle-earth with his brother Aegnor. There, they joined with Fingon and the hosts of Feanor in the pursuit of Morgoth and the Silmarils. Although somewhat reckless and aggressive like Aegnor, Angrod was truthful, and provided King Elwe,the Lord of Doriath, the full story of the Noldo Rebellion. This act endeared him to the otherwise embittered Sinda monarch, and the two maintained a distant relationship despite Elwe's disdain for the Noldor. Angrod later settled on the slopes of Dorthonion with his brother Aegnor. Together they ruled their frontier fief as vassals of Finrod and provided a bulwark against invasions out of Angband. Caught in the slaughter of the Fourth Battle with the Black Enemy, he fell alongside his brother amidst the flame and carnage that engulfed their land. He was the father of Orodreth of Nargothrond.

Appearance
A great warrior and a descendant of Finarfin, Angrod was quite tall (7'2") and noble in bearing. His physical attributes were typical of his lineage and, like all of Finarfin's line, he had blue eyes and golden hair—resembling a Vanya.
