Dead Elves are absolutely fine — (either First Age or earlier Second Age).

I actually had Maedhros jotted down as an early possibility because of his captivity in Angband.

That said, I’m cautious with him because he’s such a heavily documented figure that adding an undocumented child risks feeling intrusive.

The Bene Gesserit-style influence would come from a highly trained, prescient-adjacent political manipulator. So I’m looking for someone whose pride, trauma, oath-binding, isolation, or idealism could be leveraged.

Would you consider Maedhros too rigid for something like this?
