Aradan (S."Noble Man") ,the second Lord of the Third House of the Edain, was the son of Marach, the great father of the kindred. His birth name was Malach, but it was changed to the Elvish Aradan when he left Beleriand to serve for fourteen years under the Noldo High-king, Fingolfin. The friendship which Aradan established with the Elves continued during subsequent generations, reaching its height under Hador Lórindol (Aradan's great-grandson), and its dramatic climax in the days of Hurin and Huor. Aradan's younger brother was Imlach and his son was Magor, who dwelt in East Beleriand near the headwaters of the Teiglin.
