Algund was oldest of an outlaw band, and had been a man of Dor-lómin living under Húrin when Húrin was Lord of Dor-lómin. After the Nírnaeth Arnoediad, he was forced to flee his homeland traveling down the Vales of Anduin. Apparently destitute, he became part of a group of outlaws that raided others for their needs in Brethil and near the borders of Doriath.
