Obscure Tolkien Blorbo: Round 1

Golfimbul vs Ainairos

Golfimbul:

A king of Orcs whose beheading by Bandobras Took led to the invention of golf.

Look the guy was instrumental to the invention of golf in middle earth, what more could you want

Ainairos:

Ainairos was an elf that appeared in the earlier versions of the legendarium, as one of the Solosimpsi (later Teleri) who survived the Kinslaying at Alqaluntë (Alqualondë). Later he spoke against the Noldor and for the concealment of Valinor, which would make any outside of it unable to enter.

Who is your blorbo?
