His race was Ainur.
Improve this answer. Shevliaskovic Shevliaskovic To be exact, Sauron took on a pleasant appearance and instructed Celebrimbor and the elven-smiths in how to make rings of power. The first 16 rings were made with Sauron's assistance. While J. Tolkien did not prescribe to the idea of absolute evil, he stated that Sauron harbored an evil will that came as close to the idea as possible.
Sauron has also been likened to Balor of the Evil Eye in Celtic mythology, who was a giant and the leader of a horde of malevolent supernatural beings known as the Fomorians. His fall, just like that of those of Saruman, Gollum, men in general and essentially every corrupted character in Middle Earth history, is designed to explore the innate capacity for evil, even in those with the most innocuous or innocent drives. Ultimately, Sauron's obsession for increased power spurred him to attempt conquering Middle Earth throughout the Second and Third Ages, which ultimately led to the creation of the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom.
Condition: Brand New. No, he is not a Wizard. There are two kinds of supreme beings Ainur in the Lord of the Rings universe below Illuvatar, the Allfather, God Creater : Valar, the Gods and the Goddesses, and the Maiar - their lesser brethren, sort of angels.

He is a wizard, one of the Istari order, and the leader and mentor of the Fellowship of the Ring. Tolkien with Morgoth as the overarching antagonist. The only time Sauron might have feared a 'race', would have been the Numenoreans, who had an army so strong Sauron's army was too scared to fight them when they came to capture him at the end of the Second Age.

That other civilizations would steal their grasp of magic and technology, they astounding! Astounding advanced technologies and used to produce the smartest minds voldemort C Morgoth D Gondor: is! This force, as Gandalf suggested, would only need to be great enough to offer battle, and the rest of their forces could remain behind to garrison Minas Tirith. This option, though suicidal for those involved, would serve to distract Sauron from gazing into his own land, through which the Ring Bearer would be traveling.
Furthermore, Gandalf theorized that, once Sauron learned that a force too small to pose any real threat to him was on its way to the Black Gate to directly assault Mordor, he would likely believe that the leader of the attacking force would have the One Ring in their possession. Sauron would assume that the Ring itself would influence its wielder, who, in his pride and over-confidence in his newfound power, might be foolish enough to challenge Sauron's might with a force too small to assault Mordor in earnest.
This action left the Plains of Gorgoroth largely unguarded, allowing Frodo and Sam to reach Mount Doom with far less difficulty than otherwise.
However, once Frodo reached the Cracks of Doom , he finally succumbed to the power of the Ring, and put it on. Immediately, Sauron became aware of the halfling, and turning his gaze towards the mountain. He frantically sent the Ringwraiths to retrieve the Ring, but was too late, as Gollum, after taking the Ring from Frodo, slipped and fell to his death into the Cracks of Doom.
The Ring was unmade. The cone of Mount Doom burst apart in a cataclysmic eruption that consumed the eight remaining Nazgul. With his source of power gone, Sauron was utterly defeated and his armies were destroyed or scattered, bereft of the driving will behind their conquest. With the Ring's destruction, Sauron was permanently robbed of his physical form, reducing him to a malevolent spirit that hovered above Mordor as a "huge shape of shadow, impenetrable, lightning-crowned, With the destruction of the Ring, the vast majority of Sauron's being and his power was forever lost.
With that, Sauron's power was forever crippled, and the threat of his dominion was forever removed. For he will lose the best part of the strength that was native to him in his beginning, and all that was made or begun with that power will crumble, and he will be maimed for ever, becoming a mere spirit of malice that gnaws itself in the shadows, but cannot again grow or take shape.
And so a great evil of this world will be removed. Sauron is the Quenya term for "the Abhorred". Thu is reintroduced as an alternate name for Sauron in Beren and Luthien Tevildo , before that, was the name of the forerunner character to Sauron, a "Prince of Cats" who is a villain told of in the stories of The Book of Lost Tales.
Despite being the title character of The Lord of the Rings , Sauron is notable for never directly appearing during the events of the trilogy. Nowhere is any detailed description given of what he looks like, other than in vague terms. In the time of The Silmarillion , however, Sauron was a shape changer, taking in one instance the forms of a serpent, a vampire, and a great wolf.
And it seemed to men that Sauron was great; though they feared the light of his eyes. To many he appeared fair, to others terrible; but to some evil. He apparently gave off great heat, so much so that Gil-galad was burned to death by his mere touch, and Isildur described Sauron's hand as black, yet burning like fire, suggesting that his entire body was blackened from fire and heat.
Gollum, having apparently once seen Sauron directly, described him as having only four fingers on his black hand, suggesting that Sauron was unable to regenerate the finger from which Isildur took the One Ring, similar to how the wounds Morgoth took from Fingolfin never healed. In addition to his physical appearance, Sauron also apparently had an aura of incredible malevolence. A passage in The Silmarillion describes him as having a "dreadful presence," and daunting eyes. In my story Sauron represents as near an approach to the wholly evil will as is possible.
He had gone the way of all tyrants: beginning well, at least on the level that while desiring to order all things according to his own wisdom he still at first considered the economic well-being of other inhabitants of the Earth.
But he went further than human tyrants in pride and the lust for domination, being in origin an immortal angelic spirit. Sauron desired to be a God-King, and was held to be this by his servants, by a triple treachery: 1. Because of his admiration of Strength he had become a follower of Morgoth and fell with him down into the depths of evil, becoming his chief agent in Middle-earth. When he found how greatly his knowledge was admired by all other rational creatures and how easy it was to influence them, his pride became boundless.
Tolkien [16]. Philosopher Peter J. Kreeft proposes that Sauron is in fact the main character of The Lord of the Rings , inasmuch as he has the largest significance to the work of good and evil in the story, given his shared essence with the Ring; and given the title's referral to him. Sauron was among the mightiest of the Maiar. Sauron also seemed primarily linked to the use of fire, and as Morgoth's chief lieutenant, his ability to tap into the fires in the Earth was of great value.
At the end of the First Age, Sauron took on a fair form to appeal to the Captain of the Hosts of the Valar and ask for pardon. In the Second Age, Sauron took up that fair form again and used it under the alias "Annatar" to deceive the Elves into creating the Rings of Power.
The level of deception required to fool the Elves of Eregion must have gone beyond simply taking on a fair form, since Sauron was literally instructing the Elves to make artifacts that, while capable of great good, were ultimately purposed for his own domination and were imbued with power to arrest the natural order of the world, yet the Elves were unaware of who they were dealing with until the eleventh hour, and only narrowly escaped his trap.
Such destruction is a testament to Sauron's manipulative nature and ability to twist the perceptions of his enemies. An interesting dichotomy is set up between his deceptive nature and his symbol. While rarely appearing personally and deceiving all but the most wary, he represented himself as an all-seeing eye that could pierce all disguises.
The extent, nature, and specifics of Sauron's power are largely left to the imagination. Like Morgoth, he was capable of altering the physical substance of the world around him by mere effort of will.
Since the earliest versions of the Silmarillion legendarium as detailed in The History of Middle-earth , Sauron underwent many changes. Prior to the publication of The Silmarillion , Sauron's origins and true identity were unclear to those without full access to J.
Tolkien's notes, so that early editions of the Guide to Middle-earth described Sauron as "probably of the Eldar elves". You know of what I speak, Gandalf. A great eye, lidless, wreathed in flame. Sala Baker portrays his physical form. I see you. There is no life in the void , only death. As in the books, Sauron is the primary antagonist throughout the films. According to Tolkien's description, he is shown to be towering over men and yet not gigantic.
