A swarthy Easterling Warrior, Borlad (S? "Steadfast-?") was the first son of Bór. Like his brothers Borlach and Borthand, he led a faithful Easterling contingent in Maedhros’ army of Himring at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears (S. Nirnaeth Arnoediad), where he helped slay the traiterous Ulfang's sons, and died fighting bravely for the Elven cause.
