High King of the Noldor in Middle-earth, half-brother of Fëanor. Where Fëanor is passionate and reckless, Fingolfin is steady, courageous, and noble. He leads his people across the Grinding Ice to Middle-earth after Fëanor abandons them, and his single combat against Morgoth at the gates of Angband is the most heroic moment in all of Tolkien's writing.
