Melkor was the most powerful of the Ainur, but turning to darkness, became Morgoth, the 'great enemy', the ultimate antagonist of Arda, from whom all evil in the world of Middle-earth ultimately stems. Sauron, one of the Maiar of Aulë, switched his allegiance and became the principal lieutenant of Morgoth.

Morgoth was the principal agent of evil during the time of The Silmarillion, and his influence lingers in the world even after he was cast from the world into the outer void. Morgoth's example provided later ages a cautionary tale against pride, wrath, envy, lust for power, and greed — and the destruction these visit upon oneself and others.
