...the Black Gate
was thrown open... and out of it there came and embassy from the Dark Tower.
...there rode a tall and evil shape,
mounted upon a black horse, if horse it was; for it was huge and hideous, and
its face was a frightful mask, more like a skull then a living head, and in the
sockets of the its eyes and in its nostrils there burned a flame...

"The rider was robed
all in black, and black was his lofty helm..."
The Black Gate
Opens The Lieutenant of the Tower of Barad-dur he was, and his name is remembered
in no tale; for he himself had forgotten it, and he said: "I
am the Mouth of Sauron"

it is told that he came of the race of those that are named the Black Numenoreans...
Lieutenant of the Tower of Barad-dûr, Messenger of Mordor
...he entered the service of the Dark Tower
when it first rose again, and because of his cunning he grew ever higher in the
Lord's favor; and he learned great sorcery, and knew much of the mind of Sauron;
and he was more cruel then any orc. |

... A man of
great power and importance in the land of Mordor, the ambassador of Sauron. He
was sent by Sauron to treat with the Captains of the West at the Black Gate of
Mordor prior to the last battle of the War of the Ring. Had
his master won that war, he would have ruled the defeated western lands from a
rebuilt Isengard, in the place of Saruman. That was not to be, though, and of
his fate after the Downfall of Barad-dûr nothing is known. |
