Andróg

> Andróg
Andróg was a man from Dor-Lómin and
valiant member of Túrin’s
outlaws. Andróg “had been hunted from Dor-Lómin for the
slaying of a woman.”
It was the arrow of Andróg which killed Khîm
the dwarf, son of Mîm.
For this, Mîm laid a curse upon him that he should die if he ever
used a bow again. Andróg defied the curse of Mîm and was
struck by a poisoned Orc arrow. Beleg
also defied Mîm and healed Andróg of his wound. When
Túrin’s outlaws made their last stand after being betrayed by
Mîm, Andróg “fell mortally wounded by an arrow at the head
of the outside stair.” In his last strength, the mortally wounded
Andróg fought off Mîm and cut Beleg from his bonds with
his dying hand.
