Angamaitë was one of the great-grandsons of Castamir the Usurper.
With Sangahyando, another descendant of Castamir, Angamaitë followed in the footsteps of his treacherous ancestor and were leaders of the Corsairs of Umbar.
Spies informed them that Minardil, the King of Gondor, was in the Gondorian port of Pelargir in T.A. 1634. Quickly the pair led the Corsairs on a devastating raid against the port, where they succeeded in ravaging the city and slaying the King.[1]
