Was the first to get married of his siblings, children either were a 'eh, later' or a 'no, thanks'. He had a superlative time while married, until an Event of Your Choosing ruined that.

Was the first to get married, but had a terrible time married. Same attitude towards children.

Was the last to get married of the Finwëan cousins, and he had a 00s rock star marriage where they were married for what elves would consider a very short time, until an Event of Your Choosing drew them apart.

mortifying.

the moment he gets to middle earth, he proceeds to look at Thangorodrim and goes “bet” with about a quarter of a pound of a plan, if that, for a guy who as far as everyone knows abandoned him not once but TWICE following his insane father. it is valour, it is courage, it is nobility of deed however you wish to interpret that, but you cannot tell me that’s not a frontal lobe needing to go full throttle on every single task in front of it.

the thin line between his epithet being “the valiant” and not “the fool” is held by the high-rate success of his impulsive behaviour, and that his intentions are true and good and pure at heart.

"I forgive you, brother"

So it continues like that, and with each passing day he feels worse than before, because the situation is only getting more hopeless, and he can’t see any way out of it. And he’s still just as terrified of death as ever.

When Sauron urges him to attack Valinor, he agrees, but by that point he no longer even knows whether he truly hopes it will save him from death, or whether he just wants to escape from Sauron and beg the Valar for help.

But, of course, the outcome of all this is exactly the same as in canon.

P.S. This isn’t an attempt to make Pharazon more sympathetic or anything, but rather the result of me musing about how ironic it would be if these two characters came full circle. From Sauron being the prisoner to Pharazon feeling like the one in his own kingdom. And I like to imagine Sauron as an absolutely terrifying force who destroys those around him not only physically but mentally as well, and that you simply can’t avoid that destructive influence after interacting with him for years, especially when he actively wants to break you and enjoys it immensely.

The elves, humans, hobbits, and dwarves are often considered the main characters but there’s so many figures in Tolkien who fall outside that.

I’m curious about everyone’s favorites in other categories. It can be someone like Gandalf or Varda or Sauron, or something stranger like Old Man Willow, Tom, or the Watcher in the Water.
