Blood of two peoples made me.
He I trusted tried to undo me.
He that I hated saved me.
He that was loyal slew me.

Beleg? He trusted Mim, he was saved by Androg, whom he mistrusted, and his best friend killed him.

No. I thought someone would guess Beleg- but how would you explain the first line?

Turin then? He was born from Houses of Hador and Beor, he hated Brandir, who saved his life after he came to Brethil, and he was slain by Anglachel, which was loyal to Beleg.

Well, loyal to Beleg apart from that time when it sort of wasn't... but yes, Túrin would fit. It's not him, however.

One of Half-Elven, then?

*declines to answer*

I'm only going to confirm or deny specific guesses, not broad categories. I think that's fair.
