"A Túrin Turambar turún' ambartanen: master of doom by doom mastered!"
Words of Niënor Nínielfrom Quenta Silmarillion 21 Of Túrin Turambar
The most tragic of Tolkien's heroes, Túrin, son of Húrin and cousin to Tuor, was in his time the most feared of Men by the servants of Morgoth. He did great service to both Doriath and Nargothrond, and is famed for slaying Glaurung, Father of Dragons, but the curse of Morgoth was on him, and evil followed him always. In the Forest of Brethil he came upon his own sister, but through the spells of Glaurung they did not know each other, and wed. After Niënor discovered the truth, she threw herself to her death, and in despair Túrin fell upon his own sword.
