Welcome aboard, Corsair! And I'm glad to see this thread back up on its rails!
My best guess is Maeglin.
Of darkness and light was I born long ago, - Eol the Dark Elf and Aredhel the White Lady
From secret, to hidden, from both friend and foe, - no clue.
From low to exalted and back down again - nobody to high status in Gondolin to traitor
One love saved my life, another brought its end. - as they say, a man loves only 2 women - his mother and his wife. Aredhel took the dagger for him, but his desire for Celebrindal brought about the Fall of Gondolin and indirectly his own death.
