Gandalf and Orome, both guides who led troubled peoples to freedom, rode impressive white horses. As noted, Gandalf slew and was slain by a balrog just as Glorfindel and Ecthelion were.
Fingolfin and his last heir, Gil-galad, fell in hand-to-hand combat with the Dark Lord of their respective ages.
Proud kings of their realms, both Thingol and Isildur were killed because of the precious treasures they kept and refused to yield to the wishes of others, despite their great power and danger.
