Also known as: Hador Goldenhead
The golden-haired lord of the Third House of the Edain, greatest of the houses of Men in the First Age, and lord of Dor-lomin under King Fingolfin. From his house came the mightiest deeds of Men in the Elder Days: his grandsons were Hurin, who defied Morgoth to his face, and Huor, father of Tuor; his great-grandson Turin slew the first of the dragons, and through Tuor and Idril his line passed into the kings of Numenor and so to Aragorn. The people of Hador were tall, golden-haired and blue-eyed, swift to anger and to laughter — Tolkien's northern warrior ideal — and Hador himself fell defending the fortress of Eithel Sirion in the Battle of Sudden Flame.
