In briefanswer capsule

Urthel belonged to the twelve who still stood with Barahir on Dorthonion. With Beren, Baragund and Belegund, nine retainers of the house remained; Urthel was one of them, and the Noldor preserved those names in their lays. Homes destroyed and families lost, they would neither flee nor submit. Driven over the empty uplands above the forest, they wandered tarns and stony moors, as far as they could from Morgoth’s watchers.
