Celebrimbor?

At gates of doom I saw too soon,
The slaughter and disaster.
Was involved with the early wars of the First Age (certainly the Dagor Bragollach) but repudiated his father (Curufin) and uncle (Celegorm) when they were trying to manipulate the throne out from Finrod.

Also note that as soon as Sauron claimed the One Celebrimbor figured him out and realized they were doomed.

Gates of Doom could also refer (if they don't refer to Angband) to the gates of Moria, which were shut after Sauron was found out.

Torchbearer and light caster.
Kind of stumped on this one, though one theory does exist that Celebrimbor made the luminescent Elessar.

Also notice the preponderance of red, white, and blue imagery, which lines up with the gemstones of the Three Elven Rings.

Quote:
Ninth in line, renown is mine,
But student beats the master.
Ninth in the House of Feanor (after Feanor himself and his seven sons).

Renowned for making the Rings of Power.

But his student, Sauron, ended up destroying him.



Not my best, especially since I do not have my Silm with me, but that last line fits so well that I think I've still got the answer even if my supporting arguments are kind of weak.
