Is Sauron a melkor?

Melkor was the most powerful of the Ainur, but turned to darkness and was renamed Morgoth, the definitive antagonist of Arda from whom all evil in the world of Middle-earth ultimately stems. Mairon, one of the Maiar of Aulë, betrayed his kind and became Morgoth’s principal lieutenant, Sauron.

Morgoth didn’t want to fight Fingolfin because he was the only Vala who knew fear. This was because he’d become permanently incarnate and tied to his body and was fearful he could be hurt or killed. Morgoth, the Dark Lord, was afraid because he had tied himself to Arda and to Middle Earth.
