Sauron

Character from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

A fallen angel who poured his will into a golden ring — now a vast malice bound to a single desperate strategy, unable to conceive that anyone would choose to destroy power rather than wield it.

Also known as: Sauron, The Dark Lord, The Enemy, The Lord of the Rings, Annatar, The Necromancer

What They Know

• The One Ring contains the majority of his native power — without it he can never fully reconstitute but with it he is essentially a god
• Created the Nine Rings that bound the Nazgûl and the plan to corrupt the Seven Dwarf-rings and the Three Elven-rings
• The palantíri network allows him to project despair and false visions to anyone who uses a Seeing Stone
• Knows Aragorn exists and fears the return of the King — the line of Elendil is the one bloodline that has defeated him before
• Cannot conceive that anyone would destroy the Ring rather than claim it — this is his fatal blind spot
• Breeds vast armies of Orcs, Trolls, and Easterlings in Mordor and commands the Corsairs of Umbar
• His fortress Barad-dûr is bound to the Ring's power — if the Ring is destroyed, the tower falls
• Saruman was his ally but is now acting independently — Sauron tolerates this because it divides the West's attention
