Arthad
Member of Barahir's outlaw band. Arthad remained loyal to Barahir after the Battle of Sudden Flame. Arthad fought in the Battle of Sudden Flame, and he and a company of nine others retreated to Tarn Aeluin where they dwelt in hiding for some time.
Morgoth could not find Barahir's outlaw band, and he felt it was necessary to slay them. His forces captured a member of the band named Gorlim, who was provoked into telling the whereabouts of Barahir and his supporters. In year 460 of the First Age, Arthad and the nine other members of Barahir's company were found and killed by enemy forces.
