A coward he wasn't. But he was rash and proud and under a curse. His
actions brought about bad things to the people around him. He killed Saeros
and Beleg, he got his outlaw band killed or imprisoned, his counsel brought
about the ruin of Nargothrond. His high point was incest with his sister
and the murder of Brandir. And finally, even after his death he indirectly
caused the destruction of the land of Brethil.
