The word "Turin" is used to describe a series of unfortunate events.

Turin Turambar is a tragic character in J.R.R. Tolkien's novel <i>The Silmarillion</i>. Often referred to as "the walking disaster" by some fanfiction writers, He led to death an elf(Saeros) who insulted his mother, accidentally killed his closet friend(Beleg), married his little sister, Nienor, killed another elf(Brandir) because of a mistake, lost the elleth who loved him(Finduilas) because of a dragon's trick, led to Nargothrond's downfall, and much more. He eventually killed himself on his blade.

But he did slay the dragon, Glaurung.
