Other exceptions to the be-good-stay-good and be-bad-stay-bad dynamic in ME are:
- Osse, the god of the surf, who, we are told, had rebelled and followed Morgoth but repented and served Ulmo faithfully thereafter, though a little stormily now and then.
- Surpringly, Sauron, who repented at the end of the First Age but couldn't stick it out thereafter.
- Another instance is Thorin who succumbs to Dwarf-greed in the Lonely Mountain and afterward is cleansed of his greed by his approaching death.
