Fav Charactor
this is a real hard one to answer as no author has ever produced so many great characters as J.R.R.T. and howverer many i list here there will always be others than i dont or even forget to mention. there were many wonderfull characters in the 2nd and 3rd ages but as i am most fond of the 1st age i will chose my charcter from there. Maedhros was a great character. although not as skilled as his father his character shows what feanor perhaps should have been. despite being subject and eventually twisted by the Oath of feanor. he prevented the Noldor destroying each other over soon by showing diplomacy in handing over the lordship of the Noldor to the house of Fingolfin and moving his house to east Beleriand thus keeping his over zealous family(Maglor not included)from causing even more strife than they still managed to kindle. without the oath Maedhros would made a wonderfull high king being both Diplomatic and just. I also believe that Maedhros was nearly if not as valient as the line of Fingolfin and the term "disspossed" applies more to Maedhros alone than the house of Feanor in general. However twisted by the oathof father much the same way Saruman was twisted by the One Ring ages later. Maedhros eventually resorted to evil deads to fufill his oath therefore he cannot go down a my favourite character so Maehros stand at number 3 in my personal favs.
Beleg Cuthalion (the Strongbow). What a magnificient person Beleg was, He was a mighty elf and warrior and the greatest at woodcraft the world has ever seen. He was also totally unpompus and ceromonial which the Eldar tended to be. However his devotian and great plutonic love for Turin was beyond belief. Beleg was great amoung the Eldar but he gave all to make sure a mortal man cheated his cure. Alas Beleg failed but he gave up his life. albeit inadvertanly trying. Therefore Beleg stands at number 2 in my favs.
now to number 1. he is in fact the very person that Beleg was so devoted to. Turin Turambar. Although a mortal man Turin imho was the greatest warrior of all time and i even believe that even the likes of Fingolfin would have fallen to him in a duel. But what really makes Turin great is the fact that he always managed to show two fingers to Morgoth desptie the dreadfull curse put on him and his family and Turin also slayed arguably Morgoth's greatest weapon Glaurung the dragon. Now Turin was by no means flawless. he was impulsive. over emmotional rash in judgement as he was anger and did deeds that if he had thought about would never have happened. However the good points far outweigh the bad and Turin is without doubt my No1 of J.R.R.T's characters
