Okay. 'Mor' is dark. 'leg' shows up at the end of Beleg, but I think there it's actually -eg. Definitely a Sindarin name, either way.
But maybe not late Sindarin? 'Morl' has a slightly early feel to it. So I'm thinking older name for some character. I don't recognise it as an elf, and I usually pay attention to those, so mortal. I'm... that 'dark' is making me thing Turin. So either: a) It was a name Tolkien once used for Turin, who died of draconic manipulation and talking sword. or b) it's a member of Turin's outlaws, who... something to do with Mim? He brought in orcs to kill them, right? hS, going book-free |

You're right, it's an older name for a character, but you're barking at the wrong tree. And remember that this is a 'bad guy' trivia.
(And I'll also admit I am deceiving you a bit here, but if anyone could see through my deception, it'd be you, Huinesoron.)

Alright then, he died of a broken heart.
![]() Have no idea who he is, other than he does not sound Third Age to me, so it's hard to answer your questions about him without looking up the name.

Well, I guess you could say he did, but the answer is factually incorrect.
