In briefanswer capsule

Tulkas is the greatest of the Valar in strength and deeds of prowess, surnamed Astaldo, the Valiant. Of all the Powers he reached Arda last, entering the earliest struggles against Melkor, and it was his arrival that turned them. He delights in wrestling and contests of strength, has no need of steed, and holds no grudge; neither what has been nor what is to come occupies him, and counsel is not his gift, but no friend stands firmer. His spouse is Nessa.
