After researching it a bit more, I've come to realize that he is not, in fact, one of the Valar. He's one of the Eldar (I mistakenly thought that the Eldar were part of the Valar as a whole, but now realize my error.

So no, it wasn't Manwe. Sorry.

You're so close. It was one of Finwƫ's other sons - Fingolfin's half-brother.

Meh, can't remember the other guy's name.... I know it's fin-something (duh), but it's been some years since I read the silmarillion, and besides, the theft and reclamation of the silmarils makes for considerably more compelling reading than the creation.

Aw hell, I'm gonna give it to you. It was actually Feanor, but you're so close enough. You're up, Incandenza.

Word. Never would've gotten feanor in a million years.

New question:
What kind of dog is Ein? (there are two correct answers here)

Apologies if this has already been asked. I believe this is my first foray into this thread.

Geez, a Cowboy Bebop reference, that is nerdy.

Wow, I thought that would be a pretty easy question. You guys suck. :D

The answer is that Ein is both a Welsh Corgi and a data dog.

New question (and a nice and easy one):
Who is Anakin Skywalker's father?

Heh, I was totally gonna leave it alone. But since no one else is gonna say it, I believe there was no father, unless you count the Holy Spirit. I mean, the Force. :P
