Maedhros was distinguished by his tall stature (~ 2 m.) and excellent physique. He had hair of a rare reddish-brown shade for the Noldor, inherited from his mother. Maedhros wore a copper hoop on his head.

Maedhros was born in Tyrion in the Days of the Bliss of Valinor and was the eldest son of Feanor, Prince of the Noldor. He had no wife or children. Maedhros was friends with Fingon, Fingolfin's eldest son, but after

In 1450 ,
when the confrontation between the families of Feanor and Fingolfin began, friendship came to an end.Maedhros, with his brothers and father, actively encouraged the Noldor to speak Quenya through "þ" ("t") if they were faithful to them. Like the other brothers, he listened to Melkor when he advised him to arm himself to protect himself and his property. At the same time, Feanor forged swords, one of which was given to Maedhros.

In 1490,
after the expulsion of Feanor from Tyrion, together with his brothers and grandfather, Finwe, followed his father to the fortress of Formenos (taking a sword with him). In 1495, D.
Maedhros, like the other brothers, did not follow the feast of Manwe, where Feanor was ordered to appear. Maedhros did not stay in Formenos either, but rode north with his brothers. Soon, when Melkor destroyed the Trees of the Valar and darkness fell, Maedhros and his brothers rushed to Formenos, but they were powerless against the terror of Ungoliant, Melkor's accomplice. When the brothers were able to move, Melkor and Ungoliant had already escaped, the treasures of Formenos were stolen (including the great Silmarils), and Finwe was killed.

Maedhros and his brothers arrived at Mahanaxar, where the Valar were sitting, and there reported what had happened. Feanor was also there, and so great was his grief at the death of his father that the Feanorings were afraid that he would kill himself.

Maedhros is an elf from the Noldor, the eldest son of the legendary Feanor. Together with his father and brothers, he led the Noldor of the First House in Exodus to Middle-earth to recover the Silmarils stolen by Morgoth.

In Middle-earth, Maedhros witnessed the death of his own father, who fell fighting the balrogs. Later, Maedhros was deceived by Morgoth, who offered negotiations, and himself took Maedhros prisoner. He was freed from captivity by his cousin Fingon, the son of Fingolfin, and this should have been a humiliation for him, because their Houses were at enmity.

But Maedhros, overcoming his pride, thanked Fingon and refused to challenge the title of High King of the Noldor exiles. He founded kingdoms near the abode of Morgoth, and when the Dark Lord began another war, he found himself in the epicenter of the enemy's strike, the dwarf stood firm. Later, he organized a powerful Alliance, which included humans, elves and dwarves. However, at the crucial moment, one of the human tribes betrayed Maedhros, and his troops were defeated. Then, guided by his father's oath, he was forced to fight with other elves who took possession of one of the Silmarils — in these battles, Maedhros lost several brothers, but was never able to take possession of the treasure.

When Morgoth was defeated by the Valar and the Silmarils were taken from him, Maedhros was forced to challenge them as well. Together with the last surviving brother, he stole two stones and escaped with them. But the stones burned his hands because he was no longer worthy to touch them. Realizing this, Maedhros rushed into the mouth of the volcano with his treasure.
