Anguirel is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
There's a whole bunch of Valar too. And a few Vanyar. And the Seven Sons are more interesting, proactive and charismatic than all of the rest of them put together!

Besides, the more...morally dubious...of the brothers are by far the best villains in the book. Melkor is a kind of ultimately evil Blofeld or Voldemort, with a stereotypical German accent. Celegorm and Curufin are Scaramanga or Lucius, with a British accent straight out of Hollywood's idea of Eton. They're suave. They're elegant. They have good dress sense. They have classical educations. They think up ridiculously elaborate, ambitious, and stylish plans.

In short, they're a pair of pretty cool cucumbers, and I'd like to see them be still more successful than they were in the book...
