Mandos is the usual name for the Vala originally called Námo.His wife is Vairë the Weaver, and he is the brother of Lórien and Nienna in the mind of Eru Ilúvatar. Mandos is described as being stern and dispassionate and never forgetting a thing. He was the Vala who cursed the Ñoldor leaving Aman, and counselled against allowing them to return (almost to the point of vindictiveness). But unlike Morgoth, his Dooms are not cruel or vindictive by his own design.
