The Witch-king of Angmar was a ringwraith and the leader of Sauron's Nazgûl.
History[]
Middle-earth: Shadow of War depicts the Siege of Minas Ithil and the Witch King of Angmar's involvement under Sauron.
The Witch King served Sauron and most likely began to answer to the Black Hand of Sauron, a Black Númenórean who served as second in command to the dark lord for a period.
Minas Ithil[]
The Witch King led the assault on Minas Ithil which lasted weeks. General Castamir had a Palantir in the city which the Witch King wished to acquire for his master. He discovered resistance in the form of "The Gravewalker" - the spirit of Celebrimbor giving life to a lifeless Talion of the Black Gate. Although Minas Ithil managed to hold off for a while, the enemy eventually broke through and The Witch King took the Palantir. The city became Minas Morgul, the Palantir at it's Citadel. Talion, wearing now a ring of men, returned to Minas Morgul and drove off the Witch King and kept the Nazgûl and forces of Sauron away from the city for many years. Eventually Talion gave into the power of the ring and became a Nazgûl, joining the Witch King as a wraith. The city of Minas Morgul was then fully given to the dark lord Sauron, who put the Witch King in charge of the city.
