'''Celegorm''' is a ] in ]'s ] ], appearing in '']''. |
|
|
|
|
|
He was the third son of ] and ], most closely associated with another brother, ]. Curiously, whereas Curufin is described as "the dark," Celegorm is described as "the fair," with the text unclear on whether this refers to his hair or skin coloring. Tolkien describes the ] as almost universally having dark hair. |
|
|
|
|
|
In Tolkien's fictional language of ], ''Celegorm'' translated to '''''Tyelkormo''''', or "Hasty-riser" to describe his quick temper, as well as his habit of leaping up when angered. His father name in Quenya was '''''Turkafinwë''''', or "Strong Finwë", meaning "strong-willed". ("Finwë" was a common family name among his House, it being the name of his grandfather ], patriarch of the House and the High King of the ].) |

Celegorm was a great huntsman, and was a friend of the ] ]. From Oromë he learned great skill of birds and beasts, and could understand a number of their languages. He had brought with him from ] the great hound ], a gift from Oromë. |
|
|
|
|
|
In ''The Silmarillion'', Celegorm was bound by an ] to recover his father's ], which had been stolen by the Dark Lord ]. His oath took him and his brothers to Middle-earth during the ] where they established realms in exile, waged war against the armies of Morgoth, fought their own Elvish kind, and eventually brought ruin upon themselves and their followers. |

Celegorm had taken part in the first Kinslaying, and he had ambushed the ] armies in ] as they marched north from the havens of Círdan to aid the forces already being decimated by the Noldor. Celegorm, along with all his brothers, followed Maedhros to ] after the council of Mithrim, where the abdication of Maedhros led to ] becoming the high king of all Noldor. Celegorm, his brother Curufin, and nephew Celebrimbor settled in ], and fortified the ]. Orcs tried to breach the pass, but were beaten back by the combined forces of Dorthonion and Himring. |
|
|
|
|
|
In ], the great battle at the end of the book, the pass was breached despite fierce resistance. Celegorm, Curufin and Celebrimbor, with the survivors of Himlad, marched west towards ]. They rescued their friend ] from ]'s assault at ]. Although Minas Tirith ultimately fell to the forces of Angband, Orodreth, Celegorm, Curufin and Celebrimbor escaped the battle with a small following. |

Celegorm and Curufin lived in ], aiding ] in all events and needs of the kingdom, and won a large following because of their activities. The oath and the curse of the Valar poisoned their minds after ] sought Finrod's help in recovering a Silmarili. They opposed Finrod's mission, and their words caused the people to turn against their cousin. |

They captured ] Tinúviel, daughter of King ] of ]. Celegorm wished to marry her, thus forcing a bond of kinship with Thingol. Celegorm sent messages declaring his intentions to Thingol. Huan, however, broke with his master and helped Lúthien escape. Celegorm and Curufin were driven from Nargothrond after their deeds were revealed. They vowed to destroy Thingol after he had scornfully denied to give up the Silmarili. Their deeds are also responsible for ] and ] not joining the ]. |

Celegorm fell in the Second Kinslaying, when the Sons of Fëanor attacked Doriath to seize a Silmaril in the possession of the Elvish King ] the Beautiful of Doriath.
