Ingwe (Q."First One") was the greatest of the Elves, being King of the
Vanyar, and High King of the Eldar. He was revered for
his awesome power, his imminent wisdom, and the glory
of dwelling forever in the light of Manwe, closest to Eru.
He transcended the Elves in knowledge and power and
was in some ways greater than any Maia. Ingwe led the first
of the Eldar, the Vanyar, to Aman following their awakening.
He was therefore the leader of the first company,
and unlike so many of his fellows, did not tarry for any
reason on the way. Ingwe was the first Elf to ever set foot
on Aman. The High King never returned again to Middle-earth
except for the single occasion when he commanded
the army of the Vanyar who, along with the Valar
themselves, drove Morgoth out forever, destroyed almost
all of his foul armies, and ruined both Thangorodrim and
Angband.
Ingwe far exceeded normal and natural limitations.
Having dwelt in the music and wisdom of Aman for all the
ages, he was among the Elves greatest in wisdom and
master of almost every vocation and skill.
