Argon (Middle-earth)

Argon (Middle-earth)

In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, Argon was the fourth child of Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor in Beleriand.

His mother was Anairë, and his brothers were Fingon, and Turgon. He had an older sister, Aredhel.

His Quenya name was "Arakáno" ("High Commander"), named so partially for his character. Argon set foot on Middle-earth with his father and brothers, but he was killed during the Dagor-nuin-Giliath.

Arakáno thus never received a true Sindarin name, but "Argon" was later devised for him in the records. It is recorded that this later became a popular name under the Eldar.

Other versions of the legendarium

Argon does not appear in the published "The Silmarillion" at all, as he only came to light in very late writings by Tolkien.
