Somebody said here WK is not as great as Nazgul - true, Khamul is for example far better and far more fascinating! He is the coolest, actually, one among the coolest folks in M-E. (Hey, now I just thought, where is Gothmog? I don't mean the balrog... although that could be as well... but the other one, Lieutenant of Morgul... anyway...) But Maeglin is boring!!!

While Maeglin was especially icky, betraying the
"jewel in the crown" elf city to rule over the remnants of Gondolin with a forced marriage a la Ar-Pharazon/Miriel, first cousin's marriage is not only fairly common with royalty (and in Appalachia?  ) but I don't think it istechnically incest. And he is a free agent throughout while tWKoA is more then not a tool (albeit apparently a willing one, and in Angmar pretty much a local free agent), so + + Maeglin
