Urwen has just left Hobbiton.
Draugluin and Carcharoth.


(Also Eol and Morleg, if you wanna count them as 'evil')

Urwen has just left Hobbiton.
Also Ar-Gimilzor and Phary, as well as other Numerorean father-son duos after the Rebellion

Draugluin and Carcharoth, though I can't remember if they are actually a father/son pair or just "forefather"/descendant.

Edit: crossed with Urwen with the same idea.

Draugluin and Carcharoth was my third; I think Draugluin is his 'sire' somewhere. But:

Neither of those are unambiguously evil. Pharazon comes closest, with the human-sacrifice thing, but his dad was just a product of his times.

Tie breaker? You've not found the father/son pair I was, er... originally thinking of.

Ulfang and his Ul-sons? I'm not sure even they are unambiguously evil though. The Nirnaeth is sort of said to be their fault, though, so perhaps they deserve the brand.

Um... I'll accept that; they were willing Morgoth-followers. I was actually thinking of Azog and Bolg. Over to you.

A simple one, I think, in rather reverse-theme fashion.

Which two characters are speculated to be related, but are actually not so?
