OC Biography[]
Daedhel is a shape-shifting demon in the service of Morgoth since very early in the life of the world. She was originally a water-spirit, and still maintains some tendencies common to her element in her changeable nature and ability to shift between different bodily forms.
She was sent to Gondolin to spy, but became embroiled in more complicated activities after her husband Tevildo was killed in while impersonating Turgon during the cat-demons episode. After attempting to assassinate Prince Argon in the form of his wife Tindariel, she was captured and imprisoned, although she later escaped and returned to Angband to report on Gondolin's location.
She and her son TJ were responsible for the outbreak of Black Breath in Gondolin, as well as various other acts of mischief.
She lured Maeglin into a position whereby he could be captured, although his betrayal was known in Gondolin and the King was able to evacuate the city before Morgoth's forces attacked. Later, having survived various skirmishes with the Gondolindrim, she turned her attentions to the Sons of Feanor, and almost killed Amrod and Amras by tricking them into accepting Rings of Power from her.
She was killed by Daeron during a minor Elven invasion of Angband. After spending some time as a small sea slug, she was given back her powers by Uinen and continues to serve Morgoth.
