Last of all is set the name of Melkor, He who arises in Might. But that name he has forfeited; and the Ancients, who among the Magi suffered most from his malice, will not utter it, and they name him Morgoth, Dark Enemy of the World. Great might was given to him by the Creator, and he was coeval with Manwe. In the powers, and knowledge of all the other Ancients he had part, but he turned then to evil purposes, and slandered his strength in violence and tyranny.

From splendor he fell through arrogance to contempt for all things save himself, a spirit wasteful and pitiless.
