Argon was the fourth and last child and the youngest son of Fingolfin, the first King of the Exiled Noldor in Beleriand who was the second son of Finwë the High-King of the Noldor.
History
The mother of Argon was Anairë who was of the Noldor as well, and his elder brothers were Fingon and Turgon. Argon and his elder brothers also had only one sister, Aredhel (only daughter of Fingolfin and Anairë) who was elder to Argon.
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]
It has been noted that Argon was not mentioned in the published Silmarillion as being among the sons of King Fingolfin.
