Celegorm
Third son of Fëanor, Master of Huan, called "the fair"

Now, here's a conundrum that wasn't hard to sort out. Where Tolkien used the phrase "looks foul and feels fair" to describe Aragorn, he could easily have used "looks fair and feels foul" to describe Celegorm. Described more than once as being "fair," the third son of Fëanor had designs of his cousin Finrod's throne, abducted Lúthien and planned to force her to marry him, tried to kill Beren, and instigated the attack upon Dior, Thingol's heir, in which Dior (and Celegorm) was killed. A friend and follower of Oromë in Valinor, he was given Huan, the Hound of the Valar, but the dog had a good sense for telling friend from foe, and eventually left Celegorm to follow Beren and Lúthien. With a background like that, coming up with a Sim for him wasn't terribly difficult at all.

My first impression of someone who had the gall to try to force himself on Lúthien and had a reputation for being "fair" was that of someone who was rather like the court dandies -- good-looking, snappy dressers, poise and polish covering someone with selfish and underhanded designs. I picked colors from the brown and gold palette as suitable for a hunter, but with embellishments, like the brocade and high collar, of someone vain. The buckle of his belt is a Celtic zoomorph depicting three hounds chasing one another, reflecting his connection to Huan. The single, rather severe braid to the back is the one concession to practicality: a rider and hunter with long loose hair is asking for trouble.
