Known as Lórindol (S. "Goldenhead"), Hador (S."Spear-Thrower") was the blond-haired Lord of Dor-lomin and a vassal of the Noldo High-king Fingolfin. The son of Hathol and great-grandson of Marach, he was the father of Galdor the Tall, Gundor, and Glóredhel and the grandfather of Húrin and Huor. He was a mighty Warrior who befriended and served Fingolfin of Hithlum and gathered most of the Third Adan House in the land he received in compensation for his services to the Elves. Hador died in the Dagor Bragollach (S. "Battle of Sudden Flame") when he and his son Gundor stayed at Eithel Sírion and defended the tower until their people and their Elven allies could retire safely from the onslaught of Morgoth's army. Galdor succeeded Hador as Lord of Dor-lomin and Galdor's sons, Húrin and Huor, died in virtually identical circumstances to those that claimed their grandfather.
