More killjoy nerd, conciliatory diplomat Maedhros. Yeah, the fire in his eyes, but also his biggest achievements are giving up a crown and forming a union. He’s the one who sits out of boat burning, who goes to a parley knowing it’s a trap. He sits down and makes negotiations with people work. Even after the Nirnaeth, when his sanity is fraying, he still starts his efforts with letters (full of thinly veiled threats). He ran after Eluréd and Elurín because killing children is bad but also think of the political ramifications. This is a buzzkill who spent his adolescence confiscating throwing axes from brothers and cousins, breaking up raucous parties, and mediating fights. He carries a briefcase, did elven model UN, and though Thangorodrim and a brief bout of kingship make him more menacing he’s still at his core a guy with binders. What If The Fun Police Was Possessed Of A Blazing Flame Within And Burdened By A Terrible Oath.
