Manwë High king of the valar and husband to Varda. He had his throne and dwellings at the highest peak of Arda named Taniquetil. Altough he was not as powerfull as Morgoth it was said and shown in the music of the valar that he'll have the main part in the war against morgoth ... his brother in the mind of Eru. though he captured Morgoth, Manwë himself was free of all evil and could not understand its nature. Therefor he released Morgoth from Mandos to walk around as the least of the free people. For manwë was forgiving, he proved that later when he forgave the Noldor and gave them leave to return to Valinor. It was he who sent the eagles about to watch over the Atani (race of men)
