Appearance
Manwe's fana is that of a wise, bearded, whitehaired lord with clear skin and sky-blue eyes. Robed in rich blue, he appears every bit the King. Pure white stars shine from deep within his eyes, giving him a glowing gaze.

Personality
Manwe' is the King of the Valar and is closer to Eru than any spirit. Only Morgoth and his spouse Elbereth rival his strength. No Being stands above him in the pantheon of life. Manwe and Elbereth share an enduring love that knows no limits, one which survives the jealousy of Morgoth. Their bond lends each additional power, and together they are far stronger than the sum of their separate talents. When Manwe sits beside Varda in Ilmarin, he sees anything in Arda above the surface of the land or water simply by parting the clouds. As Sulimo, the "Breather," Manwe is master of the skies and controls the air and weather over Arda. His breath governs the winds, his vision clears the mists, and his anger spawns the storms that pound the earth. With Elbereth, he determines the course of the light that crosses the sky. As King of Valinor, Manwe serves as the ultimate leader of the Council of the Valar and presides over ad the deliberations in the Ring of Doom. He is the leader, counselor, teacher, and overseer of his people and, along with his wife Elbereth, is the patron of the Vanyar who live on the slopes between his Halls and the fair city of Valimar. Manwe's chief flaw is tied to his unwavering belief in Eru's thought. As a result of his proximity to the One, the King of the Valar does not understand the nature of and motivations behind Evd. Thus, he never comprehended the danger inherent in the Black Enemy, not did he realize the gravity of Sauron's machinations.Elbereth, how- ever, acted as his counselor in many such matters, as did Ulmo; and ultimately Manwe's wardship bore fruit.
