In brief
Aulendil designates an identity Sauron assumed while dealing with the Noldor. Together with Artano, glossed as high-smith, the label presents him as a servant of the Vala Aulë. Outwardly he appeared beautiful. Galadriel rejected the pretence and stated that no such Aulendil had walked in Aulë’s following in Valinor. That argument does not settle the matter, since Aulë was already there prior to Arda’s making; the text regards Sauron as probably one of Aulë’s Maiar, turned by Melkor prior to Arda’s start.
