Lord of the Nazgul, the nine terrifying Ringwraiths, the Witch-king of Angmar was chief lieutenant of Sauron the Dark Lord. Once a great king of old, the Witch-king, like all Nazgul, was enslaved to the will of Sauron by his magical Ring of Power. In the physical realm the Witch-king was little more than a spirit wrapped in black cloth, a fearful presence, but when seen by Frodo Baggins in the spirit world, this specter's true guise was revealed, a twisted and malicious fiend, still bearing a tall crown of his office.
