With more shadows growing, could it be possible that we've met the infamous Dark Lord already? We break down who could be Sauron in TheRingsOfPower.
The biggest question on everyone's minds since Amazon dropped the first episode of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is, who is Sauron? From the first moment we see her, the Elven warrior Galadriel is hot on the pursuit of the Dark Lord, hoping to finally find revenge for her brother's brutal death in Sauron's own.
Is Halbrand Sauron or a Nazgûl? The guy everyone loves to hate, Halbrand is something of an enigma. Seemingly the true king of the Southlands who abandoned his people after an unspeakable evil, Halbrand met up with Galadriel in the middle of the sea after a "sea-dragon" destroyed the vessel he sailed on. Though he was known initially for his cowardice, he has since shown moments of bravery and courage that make him a compelling character to watch.
Is The Stranger a Wizard or a Dark Lord? Okay, so he's most likely Gandalf, or at least some other Istari Wizard who has arrived in Middle-Earth to help battle against the darkness, but after "Partings" the Stranger seems to be a solid candidate. Tolkien is well-known for his Christian faith and once declared his high-fantasy epic a "fundamentally religious and Catholic work.
Adar Maybe the most obvious choice at this point, Adar is a Dark Elf, one often called "father" by his Orc children, implying maybe he is Sauron. Though the origin of the Orcs is up for debate, some believe they're corrupted descendants of Elves, others believe they're descendants of corrupted Men, though it's possible that neither of these theories are true. What is true is that they always serve an evil Dark Lord, be it Morgoth, Sauron, or now Adar.
The Dweller The most unlikely of options here, the Dweller is still worth mentioning, if not solely for the acolytes' ties to the Dark Lord. Known as The Mystics, this strange trio is on the trail of the Stranger, seemingly knowing exactly who, or what, he is. Whether the Dweller is trying to capture the Harfoots' unexpected protector or reveal his origins with hopes to serve is currently unclear, though we suspect we'll learn a lot more soon.
None of the Above Of all the possible candidates for who Sauron could be on The Rings of Power, perhaps the most notable, and likely, is that none of them are. Maybe Sauron is out there in the darkness biding his time. Maybe he's invisibly whispering in the ears of Celebrimbor and Gil-galad with possible lies about the end of the Elves. Or maybe he's hiding in plain sight, as another character who we have yet to suspect. There are countless theories out there.
