Blodrin son of Ban was a member of Túrin's outlaw company in the earlier versions of the legendarium. He was a Gnome who, after becoming unsatisfied with very little plunder that they acquired, betrayed the company to the Orcs. He was killed in the attack at Amon Rûdh in F.A. 489 (at that stage of writing it was F.A. 189[1]).[2][3]
Other Versions of the Legendarium
In an even earlier version he was the son of Bór and an Easterling.[4]
