The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Summary

The Lord Of The Rings : The Rings of Powerseason 2 is making a surprising change to the canyon with Sauron ’s newfangled appearance . Although this fictional character has a slightly dissimilar grimace to that play by Charlie Vickers in time of year 1 - Halbrand - it is still recognizably him , through the prosthetics , make - up , or special impression . Rather than adding someone new toThe Rings Of Powerseason 2 castto dally Sauron ’s next form , the show stuck with Vickers for narrative reasons that season 2 will divulge .

As Halbrand inThe Rings of Powerseason 1 , Charlie Vickers play the loath " business leader of the Southlands " - a position which Galadriel pointed out after noticing the royal crest on the coin sack he carried . Despite say he found the pouch " on a dead man ” and that he was n’t the hoagy Galadriel was looking for , he never denied Galadriel ’s call . This was part of Sauron ’s manipulative cover , and one case of how he would lie through not telling the whole Sojourner Truth , rather than by lying outright . With his identity in the open air , it ’s likelySauron ’s deceptions will look different in time of year 2 .

Sauron Looks Like A Regular Elf In The Rings Of Power Season 2

Charlie Vickers’ Elf Sauron in The Rings of Power season 2 may not match lore

There appear to be many change between Vickers ’ Halbrand character and Vickers ’ Elf character . Not only will he struggle to use half - truths to cozen the Elves of Eregion into making the band of power , which are evident in the season 2 trailer , but of course , he appears to have changed his race . With the pointed ear and longsighted haircloth that Peter Jackson vulgarize as Elvish in hisThe Lord Of The Ringstrilogy , Vickers face like a typical Elf . The only other signs that he is Dark Lord Sauron are his smirk and perhaps the darkness of his gown .

J.R.R. Tolkien described Sauron in Eregion , using his middling form , as an “ envoy of the Valar ”

Sauron ’s time of year 2 disguise compares to Tolkien ’s descriptionto a certain extent , which was “ fair ” and “ beautiful ” and went by the name of Annatar , Lord of Gifts . However , J.R.R. Tolkien described Sauron in Eregion , using his fair form , as an “ emissary of the Valar . ” If Sauron was posing as a phallus of the Valar race - the Ainur -he could ’ve taken any shape he wishedto help him convert the Elves that he came bearing the news of their god . If Ulmo , Lord of Waters , “ wore a … foam - crested helm ” , Sauron could ’ve manifested something telling .

Annatar Didn’t Necessarily Look Like An Elf

J.R.R. Tolkien used mysterious terms to describe Sauron’s fair form

Sauron ’s season 2 camouflage may be logical , after all , as Ainur often take humanoid forms . The well - documented Ainu Melian took Elf manikin in the First Age . seek to gain the trust of the Elves of Eregion could have led Sauron to choose the form of an Elf , as he seek to win them to his side in the long - term struggle for district of Middle Earth . The drawn-out edition of Peter Jackson’sThe Return Of The Kingactually tender a similar - looking Sauron in his fair form , with long haircloth and an elegant brass , as doesMiddle - world : The Shadow of Mordorgame .

Ainu Melian met Elf Thingol in Doriath in the First Age and fell in love , becoming poove of Doriath

However , Tolkien never draw Sauron ’s clean form in the Second eld explicitly as an Elf , nor did he confirm Elves had pointed ears . He was described " as a man , or one in man ’s shape , but bang-up than any … of the race of Númenor in height . ” This could back upThe Rings of Power ’s enactment of Sauron as a human in season 1 , butit seems potential that this bespeak to an otherworldly Ainur material body . If the Sauron of season 2 neglect Tolkien ’s hint toward his Ainur fair physical body , this may break with the lore .

Looks could be deceiving in The Rings of Power season 2 trailer

Judging from the season 2 house trailer , there is many amonster inThe Rings of Powerseason 2 . One such magical being can be see emerging from a brilliant light and channelise towards Celebrimbor . Annatar succeeded in persuade Celebrimbor to make rings of baron with him in the book , and people “ fear the spark of his center , ” Dog Star shine , angelical physical body is peradventure Sauron . The heart of Sauron imagery is also hard to ignore . This could be Sauron in another form , or Vickers ’ blonde Sauron word form confessing his Ainur nature to Celebrimbor .

This could mould as Sauron needs to manipulate Celebrimbor into entrust him . If Sauron tells Celebrimbor that he took Halbrand ’s form as people would never have accepted his alien , honest nature , he can then blandish and groom Celebrimbor by register his reliable self to Celebrimbor only and beg him to privacy . Knowing Celebrimbor ’s superbia and desire to make something as great as his granddad , Fëanor , it ’s reasonable to reckon Celebrimbor being vulnerable to this flattery and desire to create a bequest to equal the Silmarils .
