character: Gothmog

Backstory:Gothmog was the greatest and most well-known Balrog of Middle-Earth and to ever walk in Arda. He was the High Captain of Angband and equal to rank with Sauron. This monstrous Balrog carried a demonic whip as all Balrogs and a dark axe, infamous throughout the elves. In the beginning, Gothmog was a Maiar under Melkor's allegiance and when Melkor decided to revolt against Illuvatar and became Morgoth, Gothmog became the High Captain of Angband.

This Balrog fought in many battles such as Dagor-Nuin-Giliath in which he slaughtered The Elven Lord Feanor, Dagor Aglareb, Nirnaeth Arnoediad in which he killed another elven lord known as Fingon and most famously Gothmog took part in the siege of Gondolin. There the Balrog fought with savagery against  the defenders and at one point Gothmog found Ecthelion whom he dueled. The Balrog seemed to be winning the duel and as he was ready to slay the elf, Ecthelion send his sharp edged helmet towards the Balrog's chest, making  both fall down and that point the Balrog was killed (although that hasnt happened yet in the lore of the server yet)
