History
After entering Beleriand at Morgoth's bidding, Ulfang and his sons Ulfast, Ulwarth, and Uldor joined the service of Caranthir. They were given lands to dwell in the north and south of the March of Maedhros.[1] Ulfang was secretly in the employ of Morgoth, and his sons betrayed the Eldar and Edain during the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.[2]
Other versions of the Legendarium
It is unknown when Ulfang died or if he was alive or dead by the time of the Nirnaeth or still alive after. In the appendix of The Lost Road it states that Ulfand (earlier form of Ulfang) was born in the year 100, and died in 170. When comparing the dates with the Earliest Annals of Beleriand Ulfand died two years before the battle which started at 172.[3]
Etymology
Ulfang was probably not his true name, as it seems to be Sindarin for "Ugly Beard": ul- ("ugly") and fang ("beard").[4]
