Ulmo ( from the Valarin Ulubôz, Ullubôz via Ulumō ) is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium.

Ulmo is a title, which means He who pours.

Ulmo is also another name for St. Elmo, who, ( coincidentally or not ) is the patron saint of mariners.

He is introduced in The Silmarillion as an angelic being known as a Maia, associated with Ulmo, one of the Valar ( analogous to archangels ).

In older versions of The Silmarillion, Ossë is a Vala in his own right, and often opposed a Maia of Ulmo.

Nienna is the only Vala of female appearance who was not married, similarly to Ulmo among the male counterparts.

While there is no other text describing Salmar as one of the Maiar, his status as a spirit who accompanied the Vala Ulmo to Valinor, but was not listed among the Valar, would make that the logical conclusion.

The most important of the Ainur who move into Earth are called the Valar (‘ Those with Power ’, singular ' Vala '), of which there are fourteen principal characters: Manwë, Ulmo, Aulë, Oromë, Mandos, Lórien, Tulkas, Varda, Yavanna, Nienna, Estë, Vairë, Vána, and Nessa.

Ulmo – (‘ The Pourer ’) Master of Water.

Ulmo speaks to Middle-earth with a voice heard in the sounds of Water: his spirit runs in all the liquid veins of the Earth.

Ossë and Uinen both ( as sea-Maiar ) serve Ulmo.

Ulmo was second in majesty of the Valar, after Manwë and before Aulë ; in other words, he was the second of the Aratar.

Before the creation of Earth ( Arda ) when the Ainur sang to their father Ilúvatar, Ulmo was the best singer and maker of music.

The Elves owe their skill in music to the early teachings of Ulmo and recognize his melodies in the running of streams and rivers as well as the beating of the waves on the sea.

Ulmo had always distrusted Melkor, and the Dark Lord feared the Sea almost as much as he feared Varda, because neither could be tamed.

Ulmo had no dwelling in Valinor, and went there only rarely, or any permanent dwelling on land as he preferred the deeps of the seas and the rivers.

Through them Ulmo would learn much of the Elves.

Ulmo had always loved both the Eldar and the Edain, and during the Exile kept the elves ever in his thoughts for though the Valar waited for the appointed time to assail Morgoth Ulmo who had not been fooled by Morgoth during his freedom in Valinor still brought council to those east of Aman.

Ulmo was the Vala most responsible for the fall of Morgoth, by urging Turgon to build Gondolin and Finrod to build Nargothrond.

He appeared before Tuor and urged him to go to Gondolin as a messenger to Turgon ; when he got there he eventually married Turgon's daughter Idril and fathered Eärendil ; Ulmo saved Eärendil's wife Elwing from the sack of the Havens of Sirion, allowing her to take a Silmaril to her husband, which allowed him to gain admittance to Valinor and plead for aid.

Ulmo also defended them in the council from the potential wrath of Mandos.
