Argon was the fourth child of Fingolfin, first High King of the Noldor in Beleriand.

History

His mother was Anairë, and his brothers were Fingon and Turgon. He had an older sister, Aredhel.

His Quenya name was Arakáno ("High Commander"), named so partially for his impetuous character. Argon set foot on Middle-earth with his father and brothers, but he was killed during the Battle of the Lammoth.[1] Argon distinguished himself during the fighting by hewing a path through his foes and slaying the captain of the Orcs.[2]

Etymology

Argon is the Sindarin form of Arakáno although he never used it. It was devised posthumously for him in the records. It is recorded that this later became a popular name under the Eldar.[1]

Other versions of the legendarium

Argon does not appear in the published Silmarillion at all, as he only came to light in very late writings by Tolkien. His character was developed as Tolkien devised the genealogies. At first he fell in the fighting at Alqualondë and then he perished while crossing the Helkaraxë before his death was set in the Battle of the Lammoth.[2]
