caranthir

Caranthir is a fictional character portrayed in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy universe of Middle-earth. Caranthir, the fourth of the sons of Fëanor, was also the most cruel and was called "Caranthir the Dark". As with the other Sons of Fanor, Caranthir was bound by an oath to recover his father's Silmarils, which had been stolen by the Dark Lord Morgoth. This oath took the seven brothers to Middle-earth during the First Age where they established realms in exile, waged war against the armies of Morgoth, fought their own Elvish kind, and eventually brought ruin upon themselves. Caranthir's realm was in Thargelion; after the Dagor Bragollach he fled south to Amon Ereb with his brother Amrod. He perished along with his brothers Celegorm and Curufin during the Second Kinslaying — the attack by the Sons of Fëanor on Menegroth to recover the Silmarils from Elven King Thingol of Doriath. He was called Cranthir in early versions of The Quenta Silmarillion.
