GAMLING is correct!
Gaming = a leisure pursuit. The letters L and R are liquids (just as P and B are plosives). Add an L to gaming and you get Gamling, (incidentally, a rather lovely small part in the BBC dramatisation: "I will hold the gates of Helm as long as my old bones have vigour in them!")
Turin is not correct, but there's another flawed hero who might come to mind ....
GAFFER GAMGEE: Informal home hesitates before example of a wise man disturbed for a rustic chap.
ORODRETH: Crooked cross joins almost completed march in the Shire, to reveal a Calaquendë.
T:
Approval heard (or maybe not) in an ancient character reveals a flawed hero.
HALDIR: Escort through Lothlorien? Dial human resources initially, and mingle accordingly.
MIRABELLA: Braille letters in a reversed morning produce an Elf-Friend’s grandmother.
ORI: Alternatively one might find him in the Elder Edda.
GAMLING: A liquid enters a leisurely pursuit. A warrior is born.
