OK SO you two commented so i will tag you.

TLDR: Calantar is my cute and silly and awful Curufin/Sauron fanchild who is just as terrible as his dads, and i plan to have him feature in my ringmaker curufin long fic (assuming i ever even finish chapter one lmfaooo)

He was born about maybe a year after Finrod’s death, after Celebrimbor for whatever reason leaves Nargothrond for Doriath since Curufin won’t be banished just yet. and because he emotionally cannot handle not being a dad, he decides to turn to Annatar, whose identity he is now well aware of and whose power he’s equally aware of. But here’s one issue! They’re both guys. How are they going to have a kid?

After a lot of pacing around and think emoji’ing and probably bad influences from Annatar, Curufin decides that Clearly, the best way of having a child is to Literally split his fëa and then inbue a piece of it into flesh. Let’s just say that’s a terrible idea and Curufin will be paying for it later. But here’s the other problem: he doesn’t just want Any flesh for his perfect son, oh no no. he has to be SPECIAL. So Annatar chops off his own finger (dw he can still regenerate it at this point) to bond the piece of fëa to, and after a Lot of bad magic and possible necromancy, Calantar is born! In a cloud of glitter and rainbows obviously.

His birth name is Laurinquar Curufinwion which is LITERAL HELL to Sindarize. And he looks like a typical baby at first, minus the cute little orange streak he inherited from “Annatar”. But since he does have Maia blood, he does get some nifty powers: in this case light manipulation, which is where the name Calantar (lord of light/bringer of light) comes from, and he has a limited shapeshifting ability (he can shapeshift but only into different elven forms. no animals, RIP). Also his sindarin name would be Calador (light lord) and I think it’s cute

He’s like. An Interesting Person let’s just say. He is like the insane familial loyalty of Curufin combined with the self serving manipulative and self righteous part Sauron combined, so he is literally incapable of ever admitting his parents are bad people because he thinks they’re not! They’re great! You’re wrong and he will kill you for saying otherwise!

He doesn’t do much in the first or second age since y’know. Baby. And also daddy is off to usurp a kingdon brb, but in the third age he’s tasked to return the ring to dad at all costs. I’m sure he’s had some fun interactions with Celebrimbor
