Sauron

The Dark Lord Sauron, the Dark Lord, or simply just Sauron (real name Mairon), is the secondary antagonist in the novel The Silmarillion, and the primary antagonist in the novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He was also the true main antagonist in the The Hobbit trilogy and the main antagonist in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

He is the main antagonist (and primary villain) of Middle-earth, but was not its ultimate evil. In The Silmarillion, it was revealed that he was once a servant of the true ultimate evil.

In The Fellowship of the Ring, he was portrayed by Sala Baker in flesh. He was voiced by the late Alan Howard as The Eye in the trilogy. Benedict Cumberbatch played him in The Hobbit trilogy.

Of the rings of Power
Afther Morgoth was overthrown Sauron went to Eönwë and took a shape fair and wise for repentant but it was not in Eönwë's power to forive Sauron and he commanded Sauron to leave middle-earth and return to Aman. But Sauron was ashamed and didn't want to return to Aman because Sauron's rank under Morgoth was great and in Aman he must start over from a lower rank. Thus he fled and went into hiding.

When Sauron discovered the men of the south and the east he already started to corrupt them. But he desired more to bring the elves under his influence. So he appeared for the elves with the name Annatar, lord of gifts and told them he was a messanger of the valar. Elrond and Gil-galat the rulers of Lindon didn't trust Sauron and he never was allowed there. But in Eregion he was gladly received. Sauron aided the elves of Eregion in there smith-crafting and his wishdom was great and through manipulation he succeeded that the elves created the rings of power.

But in secret Sauron created in Morder a master ring to rule them all from the burning mauntain. With the One ring he could speak into the mind of the bearers of the ring of powers. But when he put the ring on it they felt his pressence and discovered who he was and his plans. Thus his attemp to dominate the elves failed. He declared open war upon them and that all the rings must be given to him but the rings where already hidden.

Final Stand in Dol Guldur
Sauron then appears in this film, and says, "Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky . . . Seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone . . ." and leaves Galadriel to finish the rest. Then, he commands the Nazgûl to kill her, but the Nazgul are easily defeated by Elrond and Saruman. Sauron then shows up with the Nazgûl, saying "The time of the Orc has come." He then tries to kill the three, but Galadriel protects Saruman and Elrond, and proves herself to be far more powerful than Sauron. She calls him a servant of Morgoth, and also calls him names like "nameless, faceless, formless". Seconds after this, Galadriel banishes Sauron and the Nazgûl into Mordor, where he will get his revenge. There, he turns into the Great Eye and creates a far more brutal Orc army.
