The treacherous Easterling who, with his three sons, allied himself with Caranthir son of Fëanor. His sons followed Caranthir to the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, but granted Morgoth the victory when they turned suddenly against the Sons of Fëanor.
Notes
1 |
Though the betrayal of the Noldor by Ulfang's people was unquestionably driven by Ulfang himself, there's no mention of his being present at the Nirnaeth Arnoediad to put his plots into action. Instead it was left to his three sons to turn the tide of the battle in favour of Morgoth. This implies that Ulfang had died before the battle, though he may simply have been too old to take part. |
2 |
Ulfang's name is explicitly derived from Elvish elements, and was given to him by the Elves after the treachery of his people was revealed. |
