I've actually never thought of Eöl as evil, but dark. I'm not sure how much sense that makes, but it's the best I can do. This semi-abstract picture of Eöl and Aredhel by Tom Loback captures the feel for me:
 In any event, as a fellow bladesmith, I have to go with ++Eöl.

Hmm. I think, to be really objective - or, rather: to be really subjective; I should read the tale of Eöl again. On first thought, I look Carcey more. But let's see... I may decide about my vote later.

**Eol
Perhaps the most intriguing character in all the Silmarillion.

I'm fine with either one of them. The fact that Eol was responsible for creating the best sword ever, the "Iron of Death" or "Iron of the Flaming Star", which led to Turin being named Mormegil (the "Black Sword"), tips the scales in favor of the Elf-smith. But the other is a WW so you can't go wrong with him either.

Eöl is cool, in a creepy way... but someone has to vote for the WW.

I like to think Frau Blucher (horses neigh) would have voted for him.

++Carcharoth And also simply because I believe Eöl is not that good to get into another round; and Carcey has, in my opinion, less chance of winning the next one. I'm leaving this open, if somebody else votes, though.
