Bór was an easterling chieftain who joined with sons of Fëanor and fought together with them against Morgoth.
One of those relatively marginal characters that become rather fascinating with time.

I took quite a lot of liberties with the depiction. It is likely that I have taken this further to the East than Tolkien would like - but I like Easterlings and I like central/east Asian cultures - so I like to imagine my Easterlings this way.
The pic shows great inspiration in Hong Kong old-school wuxia movies - I've been kinda obsessed with Hong Kong lately...;-)
