I would choose those characters, which are the main characters in the central stories of old. Tolkien developed these central stories ('Beren and Luthien', Turin, Tuor, Earendil) as the nucleus of his works and wrapped the other stories or the history around. Consequently I would consider these character as secondary: Beren, Luthien, Turin, Thingol, Tuor, Earendil. Maybe also Feanor, Fingolfin, Felagund, Sauron and Glaurung.
