Maedhros, that's not for certain. Only a theory.

It's strange to say they had an impact on the Second Age, since they didn't come until 1000 years into the Third Age. See the related thread in this forum for the quotes on possible outcomes. Tolkien gave us his thoughts (and the blue wizards' names) two different times, each being very different from the other, with the exception of them going into the east.

You cannot so readily call writings from HoME (or Unfinished Tales, for that matter) canonical.
