In briefanswer capsule

Borthand was a son of Bor and brother to Borlad and Borlach. Among Men who had recently reached Beleriand, Bor and Ulfang stood highest as chieftains; Maedhros allied with them and offered friendship. Borthand placed himself under Maedhros and Maglor, kept faith with his brothers, and undid Morgoth’s hope that the newcomers would serve his ends. The sons of Ulfang, attached to Caranthir, betrayed their oath. Borthand was slain in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.
