Quick Biography

Maedhros is the eldest son of Fëanor. This is pretty much the source of all his problems. Then there were six more sons of Fëanor, and exponentially more problems. And a bit of a mess with swearing an Oath to kill a lot of people for no good reason, which they obviously didn't think through, and more messes with actually killing a lot of people for even worse reasons. At one point, an interlude involving being hung from a cliff by his wrist for seven years, but he eventually got down, minus a right hand, thanks to his totallycousin. Then, after some time, there was even more killing people, which has been widely regarded as a bad idea and made a lot of people very angry, a small break from that helping to raise small kidnadopted children (who turned out amazingly sane, all things considered), and then, after a little more killing people, he put two and two together, came up with oh, wow, I'm evil, and jumped into a firey chasm. This was almost certainly a relief, or would have been had he ended up in the right afterlife. It may not be working out so well now.

Appearance

On the tall side even for an elf, we're thinking just over seven feet. Dark red hair, grey eyes, powerfully built and extremely good-looking, even, again, for an elf. It's in his name, although the ridiculous angst probably detracts from the pretty these days. His palm and his face are bulletproof OTP.

Personality

Angsty McGuiltypants. On some levels justified, what with the killing all those people, but one feels that he goes a little overboard sometimes. Has, and most things can be traced back to this, an overdeveloped sense of personal responsibility, which is good when he's keeping his brothers out of trouble; not so good when he's shouldering the guilt for all the stupid things they do, even though, really, someone has to. Despite all the issues and guilt and self-loathing and ultimate desire to be dead, he can at need do a really good impression of mildly sane. Don't let it fool you.

DF Canon

The first time, he hung around (heh) vaguely overseeing his brothers and multitude of cousins, getting crackplotted, periodically group-pwning Sauron, and snogging Fingon when he could. Second time, well, he's still overseeing the brothers. And being insecure around Fingon, to whom he had to explain the killing-people thing. And getting attacked a lot, through no fault of his own at any point, but jump into one little firey chasm, apparently, and everyone goes around suspecting you of courting death. So not fair.
