Magor was Malach's youngest child and only son, and Magor in turn was the father of Hathol.
History
He was born in F.A. 341. He served no Elf-lord. Furthermore, Magor had only one sister: Adanel, who was elder to him.[1]
He led a part of his father's people away from Hithlum and southward down the River Sirion. They settled among the southern foothills of the Ered Wethrin,[2] near the sources of river Teiglin.[1]
Magor's grandson Hador and his people returned over the mountains and entered the service of the Elven Noldorin High-king Fingolfin, and Magor's grandson was soon made Lord of Dor-lómin. From Magor's famous grandson his people took Hador's name and re-named the House of Marach to the House of Hador.[2]
Etymology
Magor means "the Sword" in Sindarin.[1]
