Fankil

Fankil was one of the strongest ill-reputed Fays, as well as a fervent follower of Melko and his deputy among forces of Darkness in the remote eastern regions. Those in whose ears he whispered his lies revered his master and were savage in mind and ever hostile to fair folk.

After Utumna was razed to the ground and Melko taken by the Valar, Fankil flew eastwards to continue his master's works. He threw in with Goblins and wicked Dwarves and became invested in the newly-awakened Men near Palisor, plotting to lure them towards the veneration of his Lord and to estrange them from the Elves. Some of their race he perverted and these mingled with his horrid minions. Fankil's bid to conquer Palisor in Melko's name leads to the first war between the First Born and the Goblinss, though the battle of Palisor ends with the defeat of the Foe's servant at the hands of the Wizard-king Tû.
