I think it was Tevildo, but that doesn't matter. He play a rolle in The Book of Lost Tales and was later completly erased (or beter replaced). Tevildo was the evil Lord of the cats and had his home in the Iron Mountians. It was a house that was build with teraces facing south on which the cats could lie in the sun. His servance wers of big sice (I imaging them as big as Lions or Tigers). When Beren tried for the first time to get a Silmarill he was captured and put as a slave into the kitchen of Tevildo. (Felagund and his role in the story of Beren and Luthein was not jet invented by Tolkien.) Luthien rescued Beren from Tevildo with the help of Huan. So in the rolle he played in The Tale of Tinuviel Tevildo was the forruner of Sauron. But they had no other connection I am aware of.
