Well there is another problem - Tuor is not the correct answer.
How inconvenient. I suppose my ego did need to be flicked down a few notches, but I ask you... so brutally? Tell me I did well for my first ever attempt at a cryptic clue though...

My other guess was Turin, but I don't like that answer so much.
Boy in agony abducted hero's father.
See, following my same line of thought as last time, agony remains torture, and if one puts 'in' inside of that word, you can get torturine. Agony because of the whole thing with the curse upon his house (falling in love with his sister, killing his friend, etc), and if the apostrophe-'s' means "hero is" than you get 'abducted hero is father' and Hurin was abducted by Morgoth and is quite the hero.
But then again, I'm not even positive that I'm going about this the right way...
