<big>'''[[Curufin]]'''</big> was a [[Noldor]]in prince and one of the [[Sons of Fëanor|seven sons]] of [[Fëanor]]. Along with the other sons of Fëanor, he swore the [[Oath of Fëanor]], joined the [[Exile of the Noldor]], and settled in [[East Beleriand]].  

He was Fëanor's favorite son, and resembled him greatly in skill, temperament, and appearance. He was also the father of [[Celebrimbor]], master jewel-smith of [[Eregion]], who forged the three [[Elves|Elvish]] [[Rings of Power]]. 

Curufin was almost always in the company of his brother [[Celegorm]], and the pair are most notable for their role as antagonists in the story ''[[Of Beren and Lúthien]]'' where they made foiled attempts to usurp the kingdom of [[Nargothrond]], force [[Lúthien]] into marriage to coerce a political alliance with the kingdom of [[Doriath]], and even attacked [[Beren]] and Lúthien directly. 

Their misdeeds resulted in weakening the [[Union of Maedhros]], which contributed to the disastrous outcome of the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. They were eventually killed when the sons of Fëanor [[Second Kinslaying|attacked Doriath]] in an effort to claim the [[Silmaril]] held there.<p align="right" style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;">'''[[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Archive|Featured Articles archive]]''' · [[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Nominations|Nominate/Vote]]</p></div></div>
