Sauron

Sauron, also known as Annatar, Dark Lord, Gorthaur, King of Men, Lord of the Earth, Lord of the Rings, Mairon, The Necromancer and The One Enemy, is a character from The Lord of the Rings series.
== Charactah Account ==
The all-powerful Maia formerly known as Mairon, the lieutenant of Morgoth, and the original Dark Lord, Sauron was responsible for much suffering of Elves and Men in the Elder Days. When Morgoth was banished, Sauron ultimately took his place as the second Dark Lord. His first plan to rule the world was to teach the Elves to craft magic rings (ultimately the three for the Elves, seven for the Dwarves, and nine for Men). These rings would give each of their bearers great power, but they were also secretly a trap.
By creating his own One Ring as an extension of his being, Sauron would be able to control each of the other ring bearers, and through them dominate each race. However, the Elves were on guard against this evil, and the Dwarves were too focused on material wealth to be dominated. Sauron made his first bid through force but was routed and his body destroyed (twice). However, his ring anchored him to the physical realm and would allow him to return.
In the narrative, he is simply the Big Bad, an ominous evil presence that grows stronger as the heroes near his realm. If he reclaimed the One Ring, the doom of Middle-earth would be swift and final. Even without it, he seems poised to win, leaving the destruction of his Ring as the only means of defeating him.
