Uldor the Accursed
An Unfaithful Easterling Warrior and Chieftain, he was the youngest and strongest son of Ulfang the Black, High-chieftain of the Ulbarim (S. "Homeless Host"). His father's clan enlisted in the service of the Elf Caranthir, one of Feanor's sons, soon after entering Beleriand. Unbeknownst to the Elves, however, Ulfast and his three sons actually served Morgoth. They supplied the Black Enemy with information for many years. During the Battle of Unnumbered Tears (Q. "Nimaeth Ar- noediad"), Uldor led the Easterling allies and served with Caranthir in the eastern army under Maedhros. His false reports initially : delayed Maedhros' advance, but the eastern army eventually met Morgoth's main host and successfully flanked the evil forces. Then, Uldor committed his greatest act of betrayal. He ordered his own warriors to change sides and strike their allies. While many ran out of fear and confusion, others gathered under the banner of the Accursed Easterling and his two brothers, and followed them in a suprise attack against Maedhros and his staff. Meanwhile, Uldor's messenger slipped away into the nearby hills and took his attack orders to an awaiting force of evil Men. The sons of Ulfang almost overwhelmed Maedhros and his retainers, but the Noldo Maglor cut Uldor down, and the Faithful Easterling sons of Bor sacrificed their lives in order to slay Ulfast and Ulwarth. Uldor's force broke, offering a glimmer of hope for Maedhros. At that moment, though, the main Easterling army arrived from their hiding place in the neighboring heights and fell on the rear of Maedhros' army. Their charge shattered the Elven army, and only the bravery of the Dwarven rearguard enabled the host of the sons of Feanor to retreat without being annihilated. Regardless of what might have happened, the survivors of this desperate withdrawal always remembered that Uldor's treachery had cost them the war.
