He was called Sun-shy at one point in the tale.

Other dark associations that might be made: it was said that Eol would go abroad clad, in some measure, in galvorn (black and shining like jet) for example.

Melian also referred to the dark heart of the Smith when describing one of his works.
Eol -- makes sense here ...
