Finrod was a Noldorin Elf, eldest son of Finarfin. In Eldamar, Finrod was friendly with Turgon and joined the revolt of the Noldor reluctantly; his beloved, Amarie of the Vanyar, did not go into Exile with him.
Finrod was the first of the Eldar to encounter the Edain, whom he instructed on Ossiriand. He fought in the Wars of Veleriand; during Dagor Bragollach he was surrounded by Orcs in the Fen of Serech but was rescued by Barahir, to whom he gave the ring of Barahir as a pledge of aid to his house. When Beren later came to Nargothrond for that aid, Finrod gallantly went forth to his doom in the Quest of the Silmaril. Overcome vy Sauron in a duel of songs of power, Finrod was imprisoned with Beren in what had been his own dungeons of Minas Tirith. Finrod was slain by a wolf defending Beren and was buried on Tol Sirion.
Finrod was very powerful, but also wise and just. He was a great traveler. He was called Felagund and Master of Caves vy the Dwarves for his labors at Nargothrond, Nom by the Edain whom he instructed, and the Faithful and Friend-of-Men for giving his life for Beren.
