    He was a Maiar of Aulë, which was the Vala of Crafting, so prodigy is probably underselling it. As a side note, considering what happened with both Saruman and Sauron, I would say Aulë was probably a very shitty boss.

      He probably was - which is why they prefer to promote shitty engineers to management, usually.

      Aule also created the dwarves against the explicit orders of Iluvatar, so it kinda runs in the family. Wasn’t Morgoth a Maiar of Aule too? Nope, a Valar. Thanks for the correction!
