Amrod
Amrod and his twin brother Amras were the youngest of the sons of Feanor. Amrod and Amras were born sometime in the very late Years of the Trees in the Noldorin city of Tirion in Valinor. Amrod was the son of Feanor. His father's father was Finwe, the first High King of the Noldor. Amrod's mother was Nerdanel, and through her Amrod and Amras inherited red hair. Amrod had five older brothers named Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, Caranthir, and Curufin.
After the Silmarils had been stolen from Feanor by Morgoth and were taken across the Sea to Middle-Earth, Amrod and his brothers swore the Oath of Feanor, an oath in which they promised to retrieve their father's Silmarils at any cost. Before Feanor and his sons set out on their quest, Nerdanel begged her husband to allow for either Amrod or Amras to be left behind with her in the Undying Lands because she feared that either one or both of them would not survive the perilous quest across the Sea. Feanor denied his wife her request, and took all of his sons with him when he sailed east across the Great Sea to Middle-Earth. When Feanor's fleet arrived at Losgar at the mouth of the River Drengist in Middle-Earth at the beginning of the First Age, Feanor ordered the ships that had brought him across the Sea to be burned. Feanor and his supporters had massacred the Teleri in order to acquire these ships, and there were many other Noldor left in the Undying Lands who had also sworn Feanor's oath and were waiting to follow him. But Feanor nevertheless had the ships burned, and his son Amras was accidentally burnt to death during the destruction of the ships. Amrod apparently spoke out against his father when he learned of his brother's death.

Amrod became separated from the other Sons of Feanor. After Feanor's death, Amrod went to live in
