==Summary==
Sauron, also known as Annatar, the Dark Lord and the Great Deceiver, is the principal antagonist of Monolith's Middle Earth game franchise based on Tolkien's Lord of The Rings.
Once a loyal member of the Ainur, Sauron was seduced by the first Dark Lord named Morgoth and in the centuries since has become the greatest enemy of the Free Peoples until his defeat at the hands of Isildur. Millennia later, Sauron would return to Mordor, having the Black Captains and the nine Nazgûl prepare his armies for his planned domination of Mordor and, from there, all Middle-Earth.
Sauron would enter a protracted civil war with the Ranger Talion which ultimately led to Sauron's being locked in perpetual war with the Elf Celebrimbor.
