Manwë  Manwë is dearest to Ilúvatar and understands most clearly his purposes and was the most faithful of servants to him. He cared not for his own pride or glory, but rather in caring for lesser beings. He delighted in the winds and the clouds of Arda and all regions of the air, and loved all birds, strong of wing. He later became the first King and Lord of the realm of Arda.
