Argon was the youngest child of [[Fingolfin]] and [[Anairë]], the younger brother of [[Fingon]], [[Turgon]], and [[Aredhel]]. He was most likely born in [[Tirion]] during the [[Years of the Trees]].

Latest revision as of 20:34, 30 March 2024

Much of this article relates to the final versions of Middle-earth's history, and as such may contain discrepancies with The Silmarillion. See LOTR:Canon for a discussion. This subject's portrayal in earlier or alternative versions is discussed in the Earlier versions of the legendarium section.

Argon was the fourth child and the youngest son of Fingolfin, the High King of the Ñoldor in Beleriand. He was one of the mighty Prince of the Ñoldor in Tirion, Valinor. Furthermore, Argon grew up in Valinor, until later, the Ñoldor went into exile for Middle-earth where he journeyed with his father Fingolfin and his siblings.

Biography

Brave Heart - Children of Fingolfin

From left to right: Fingon, Turgon, Aredhel, and Argon

Argon was therefore the last child and the third son of Fingolfin and Anairë who was also of the Ñoldor. Argon was the younger brother of Fingon, Turgon, and Aredhel his elder sister. He was most likely born in Tirion during the Years of the Trees. He was described to be the tallest of his brothers and most impetuous. He followed his father through Helcaraxë and set foot on Middle-earth during the First Age. During the Battle of Lhammoth, Argon hewed a path through the foes and killed the Orc captain, before he himself was slain.[1]

Argon was less than 1381 years old when he was killed - a young age for an Elf. His death was the first signs of the Doom of Mandos.

Etymology

Arakáno thus never received a true Sindarin name, but Argon was later devised for him in the records. It is recorded that this later became a popular name under the Eldar. His Quenya name was Arakáno ("High Commander"), named so partially for his character.[2]
