Ai, you're on to me! ;) I chose traits that could all belong to Maglor at various points, depending on how you interpret the texts. (For example, that he is ambitious and unfaithful for choosing not to rescue Maedhros, knowing that he was Maedhros's heir.) What's interesting to me is how people take such a complex character and pull out the traits that they feel are most definitive of him, or not. (For example, I'd bet many people would balk at characterizing him as cruel or ambitious or unfaithful, but all are valid interpretations ... just not popular ones! :)
