The thirteenth King of Númenor, surnamed the Great (for his wealth and power, rather than his wisdom). He treated the Men of Middle-earth cruelly, and he was the first King to speak openly against the Ban of the Valar.
Notes

The name Atanamir contains atan-, 'Man' in the general sense of a human being, and -mir, usually translated 'jewel' but extending to mean any precious or valued thing. Names ending in -mir were common among the Dúnedain (with especially notable examples being Boromir and Faramir).
