==Summary==
Sauron (or Þauron (Thauron); Quenya; IPA: [ˈsaʊron] or Vanyarin; IPA: [ˈθaʊron] - "The Abhorred"), the eponymous Lord of the Rings, was a fallen Maia, the creator of the One Ring, and the most trusted lieutenant of his master Melkor (Morgoth, the first Dark Lord). After Melkor's defeat in the First Age, Sauron became the second Dark Lord and strove to conquer Arda (Middle-earth), creating the Rings of Power for this purpose. In the Second Age, he was defeated in the War of the Last Alliance by the last line of defense: Elves and Men under kings Gil-galad and Elendil.

Attack Potency: High Universe level (Described as Morgoth's greatest named servant in regards to might, making him superior to both Gothmog and Ancalagon the Black.Silmarillion: VALAQUENTA As chief among Morgoth's Maiar, he is almost certainly one of the Greater Maiar, something supported by descriptions of Sauron as a "greater spirit" across notes, and due to his feats of combatting Huan. Huan slew a Silmaril empowered Carcharoth, and Sauron combatted him while in a weakened state due to Luthien's abilities.Morgoth's Ring: PART FIVE. Text VIIISilmarillion: Chapter 19 OF BEREN AND LUTHIEN This is especially notable as Silmarils were created with the light of the Two Trees, the greatest creation of Yavanna, and have been depicted harming the likes of a diminished Morgoth)Silmarillion: Chapter 9 OF THE FLIGHT OF THE NOLDOR, can ignore conventional durability with Soul Manipulation (Ainur can directly influence the fëar/soul to attack it directly)The Nature of Middle-Earth, Part Two: Body, Mind and Spirit, XIII SpiritSilmarillion: AINULINDALËMorgoth's Ring: Notes on motives in the Silmarillion (iii) | High Universe level, higher with the One Ring (Was said to have grown stronger by the Second Age, to the point were he became "greater" than Morgoth was at the end of the First Age.Morgoth's Ring: PART FIVE.

| At least Mountain level, likely far higher (Despite being severely weakened, Sauron was still capable of casually performing this feat as a mere message.The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Book Four, VIII The Stairs of Cirith Ungol Was far above the likes of Gandalf the White, with the latter admitting that "black is mightier still")The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Book Three, V The White Rider, can ignore conventional durability with Soul Manipulation
| Low Complex Multiverse level (The Ainur, as described by Eru, are considered to be powerful and genuine entities, being capable of shaking the Timeless Voids as a result of their strife during the Music of the Ainur.

(i) Sauron was also said to possess a mind that was similar to Saruman in thought, enabling him to comprehend the White Wizard, understand him, and accurately predict his moves and motivations. As such, Sauron should be comparable to "The Wise" in intelligence, being capable of accurate foresight of the future by sheer deduction alone.The Nature of Middle-Earth: Footnotes, Part Two, IX Ósanwe-kenta Sauron successfully tricked the Eregion Elves into forging the rings of power, tricked Númenor into attacking Valinor, spread the worship of Melkor and made entire nations worship him as a God) | Possibly Nigh-Omniscient (The Ainur acted as the origin to all that which existed within Eä, having sung all the concepts which constitute the world during the Anulindalë. However, Eru himself withheld some knowledge about his creation from the Ainur)
