Description
'Great indeed was the Joy of Morgoth, and to Maeglin he promised the lordship of Gondolin as his vassal, and the possession of Idril Celebrindal, when the city should be taken; and indeed desire for Idril and hatred for Tuor led Maeglin the easier to his treachery, most infamous in all the histories of the Elder Days. But Morgoth sent him back to Gondolin, lest any should suspect the betrayal, and so that Maeglin should aid the assault from within, when the hour came; and he abode in the halls of the King with smiling face and evil in his heart, while the darkness gathered ever deeper upon Idril.'

glad you at least acknowledge that Maeglin was evil, as Tolkein said. Alot of fans treat him like he was just a poor confused, unloved child who should be pitied but its important to remember as Tolkein himself implied, that excuses nothing that he did.
