In the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, Finwë was the first King of the Noldor, whom he led to Valinor. Finwë had great friendship with Thingol. His first wife was Míriel, who bore him Fëanor. His second wife was Indis, a Vanya, who bore him two sons: Fingolfin and Finarfin. Melkor killed Finwë at the doors of Fëanor's house.
