A Balrog and Glorfindel before their fall, on the ledges of Gondolin
Lord of Balrogs was a title given to Gothmog and Lungorthin during the time of Morgoth.
Gothmog served Morgoth as High Captain of Angband, and was the greater Lord of Balrogs in the First Age. He probably led the group of Balrogs that saved Morgoth from Ungoliant in Ered Wethrin. In the Dagor-nuin-Giliath, he mortally wounded the Ñoldor lord Fëanor.
In the Nírnaeth Arnoediad, Gothmog killed Fingon, High King of the Ñoldor, with his axe and a little help from the lesser Lord of Balrogs, Lungorthin using a whip of fire to restrain the High King.[citation needed] Following the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, Gothmog captured Húrin, the lord of Dor-lómin, bringing the man into Morgoth's fortress of Angband where Lungorthin tortured Húrin with his whistling fiery whip.
In the Fall of Gondolin, Gothmog was finally killed by Ecthelion, though the Elf was mortally wounded in the process.[1]
Lungorthin is not mentioned in later versions of the legendarium.
