Gwindor is a noble elf from Nargothrond who leads the first charge in the fifth battle of the Wars of Beleriand when his brother Gelmir is brutally executed. His company is ambushed, and he’s held captive for 14 years before he escapes. Gwindor brings Túrin to Nargothrond, where Finduilas, who used to love Gwindor, falls in love with Túrin instead. He’s mortally wounded during Glaurung’s invasion of Nargothrond and begs Túrin to save Finduilas and avoid his own terrible fate.
