Marchwarden

March wardens were highly skilled rangers and warriors who guarded the outer borders of Doriath. Master skirmishers, trackers, and ultimatly soldiers they were the first warning of attack and the first line of defense from any of their King's enemies, they served King Thingol and he put them to the test more than once fighting off Orc assault after assault near the southern bordor. Only two elves from Doriath joined with the army of  Noldorin already gathering to battle Morgoth's Army the two were Beleg Cúthalion chief March warden of Doriath and his good friend Mablung who was a captain in Thingols army they both fought valiantly, and survived the disaster of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and returned home. Ultimatly the March wardens were wipped out and Doriath destroyed, the first blow came from the Dwarves when they over powered the Guards and slew King Thingol, the second and last was the attack by the sons of Feanor who came seeking Thingol's Silmaril. in the end they remain one of the best named groups of Elvish soldiers.

Turin Turambar was also a March warden for a time serving with distinction along side Beleg Cúthalion, the two became life long friends and heroes in Doriath, the Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin and the Strong bow.
