Melethaon was born in Tirion which was wrought upon the hill Tuna. He lived in bliss, studying the stars and making jewelry, for it was this of his passion for jewelry did he forge the ring, Itaralinga, but it was also his love for beauty did he had made the ring. Feanor who was exiled to Formenos, came to Tirion and spoke his oath and his impassioned speech, and that is where Melethaon followed him and his host to Alqualondë. There was it that Feanor demanded the Swan-Ships of the Teleri, and it was there that Melethaon followed Feanor and his host in attacking the Teleri and joining the first Kinslaying. The Host  had arrived at the Helcaraxë, the Grinding Ice, and Feanor and his sons led the first group across it which Saraneuron at which he was called by this name now, went on the boat. Upon arriving at Losgar, they burnt the boats and left Fingolfin’s host at Araman. As soon as they had arrived in Middle earth, Morgoth sent forth his armies and attacked the encampment, which this was later known as Dagor-nuin-Giliath. Saraneuron was wounded near the end the battle by an orc, which it was slain by a spear of another Noldo, but it did not pierce the orc in time for he had cut a gash into Saraneuron’s stomach which left him several weeks to fully recover. Cormahto was he was now called instead of Saraneuron, as he had dismissed his previous name as he had no one to follow for now that is.

Cormahto arrived at Nevrast, Vinyamar, where he was welcomed with warm arms, but most importantly where he had fell in love with Alimaenda. He had betrothed her several years later then married her when they had settled in Gondolin, and the year after that did they have two children, Varni, their daughter, and hrai, their son. Alimaenda was one of the Archers at Vinyamar and Gondolin, and taught both of their children Archery, while Cormahto taught them swordsmanship and forging of jewelry. When Gondolin was finished and fully built, Turgon and his people went there, which the house of Melethon followed them, thus did they live long in bliss and rejoice in Gondolin. During the fall of Gondolin, the House of Melethon escaped with the using the tunnel that idril had thought of, alongside all that she could muster. The house of Melethon had arrived at the Mouths of Sirion, Cormahto had turned his children and wife east to Ered luin, so that they were not harmed in the coming days and weeks. For Cormahto fought in the War of Wrath, fighting at the long contested River Sirion and such.  After the War was finished, and the land was drastically changed, Cormahto had traveled to Ered Luin to meet his children and wife, and to escape full destriction of Beleriand.
 

In the Second age the House of Melethon had grown greater then it was in the First age. Many Elves of this house was in Eregion(Including Cormahto and Alimaenda) when Sauron had attacked it, and which the Elves of this house had fought briefly until fleeing to Imladris, where they had start anew, Cormahto was greatly sorrowful during this time as he had made several rings that he had made for his children and wife but they were never fully complete in Cormahto’s eyes. For the Third age for the House of Melethon was great, it’s numbers were running out yet it’s numbers were already great and bountiful, for more had came but near the end of it they had all but for Cormahto and his children and their children had departed for they had to Protect Imladris and fully know that Sauron’s taint had been removed before they left. It is know that in the Third and Fourth age, Cormahto had prefered his Father name over his other two.
