Enthor was the husband of Hiril, the daughter of Halmir Chieftain of Brethil, as well as the father of Meleth, the mother of Hunthor and Manthor.[1]
It is likely that either Enthor or his son-in-law Agathor were descended from the House of Hador.[2]
Genealogy
Other versions of the legendarium
When The Wanderings of Húrin was being written there were different manuscripts with many name changes.
In the earlier version, Enthor was the younger brother of Hunthor and Manthor, and he was the captain of the guards near Brithiach whom Asgon met.
However, in the last manuscript captain Enthor was replaced by Ebor who was "a chief henchman of Manthor's", and the words "younger brother of Hunthor and Manthor" were intended to be cut out, per Christopher Tolkien.[1] The newly named Ebor referred to Manthor as his lord rather than his brother, strengthening Christopher's suggestion.[3]
