Ingwion was the son of Ingwë, cousin of Indis, the wife of Finwë, and a High Prince of the Elves.
History
Ingwion led the armed Host of the Vanyar to the Middle-earth and the War of Wrath that overthrew Morgoth at the end of the First Age.
Ingwion was the captain of the force that landed and captured the haven of Eglarest in the first battle of the war. He presumably still lives with his father upon Taniquetil.[3]
Etymology
Ingwion[4] is a compound of the name of his father Ingwë and the Quenya patronymic suffix -ion which is translated as "Son of Ingwë".
Other Versions of the Legendarium
Ingil (as was his name in the earlier stages of development) was the son of Inwë in the Book of Lost Tales. He was among the Elves who came to Tol Eressea. He rested upon Kôr with other Elves and built a tall grey tower. The dwelling was called Koromas, but was later known as Kortirion, in memory of their ancient dwelling of Kôr in Valinor which also upon a hill and had a similar tower.[5][6]
Meril-i-Turinqi said that long ago he returned to Valinor and is with Manwe.[7] He became a blue bee to follow Telimektar and is seen among the stars as Nielluin (Sirius).[8]
