Gwindor was a Noldorin lord of Nargothrond, brother of Gelmir, who was captured at the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and spent years as a thrall in the mines of Angband before making his escape. Broken by the ordeal, he found and befriended Túrin son of Húrin in the wild and brought him to Nargothrond, though he himself loved Finduilas, who loved Túrin instead. His counsel that Nargothrond fight openly, spoken chiefly to please Túrin, undid the realm's long secrecy and hastened its ruin.
