Morgoth (Sindarin; "Black Foe of the World"), formerly known as Melkor (Quenya; "He who arises in might"), was the very first Dark Lord, and the primordial source of evil in Eä. Originally the most powerful of the Ainur created by Eru Ilúvatar, Melkor rebelled against his creator out of pride and sought to corrupt Arda. After committing many evils across the First Age and preceding eras, such as the destruction of the Two Lamps of the Valar, the destruction of the Two Trees of Valinor, and the theft of the Silmarils, which resulted in his name Morgoth Bauglir being given from Fëanor, the first King of the Ñoldor, he was defeated by the Host of Valinor in the War of Wrath. As punishment, Morgoth was banished from Arda into the Void, but his legacy of evil continued through his chief lieutenant, Sauron, the second Dark Lord until the end of the Third Age. It was prophesied that he would one day return, and it would be during the Dagor Dagorath.
