Algund was an Adan of the First Age and a member of the "Gaurwaith".
Biography[]
Algund was the oldest of an outlaw band and had been a man of Dor-lómin, living under Húrin when Húrin was Lord of Dor-lómin. After the Nírnaeth Arnoediad, he was forced to flee his homeland, traveling down the Vales of Anduin. Apparently destitute, he became part of a group of outlaws that raided others for their needs in Brethil and near the borders of Doriath. When Túrin joined the group, Algund eventually recognized him as the son of Húrin.[1] After Túrin slew Forweg, the original leader of the group, it was Algund who supported him as their new captain, figuring that he would be a better leader and lead them to better fortunes.[1][2]
Later, when the group captured Beleg, Androg argued that he should soon be killed for spying, but Algund advised to wait until Túrin returned.[2] He was most likely slain in the Sack of Amon Rûdh.[3]
