One of my favorite sections about Finrod is in chapter 17 in the Sil (of the coming of men into the west) where Finrod gets tired of hunting with Maglor and Maedhros and first sees the people of Beor. He doesn't just barge in on them (like I imagine the sons of Feanor would) but just watches until they all fall asleep, then picks up one of their harps and plays and sings so beautifully that as the men awake, they all think they are in some fair dream.
"Wisdom was in the words of the Elven-king, and the hearts grew wiser that hearkened to him ... [and] Felagund dwelt among them and taught them true knowledge, and they loved him..." What a nice section. No wonder the people loved him!

Finrod had no children because his love, Amarie of the Vanyar, stayed in Valinor.
AND... Violence is not the answer unless the question is "what is not the answer?"

Violence solves everything. You just have to use enough of it.

You know, I don't understand why everyone is trying to pit Fingolfin and Finrod against each other. Just because Fingolfin beat on Morgoth does not mean he is better and stronger. If Finrod had done it instead, you all would say the same about him. Finrod and Fingolfin were both strong and were both descendents of Finwe, and they were on the same side. This conversation is silly.
