The Witch King of Angmar. I'm not sure if there is somewhere that talks about him before he was ensnared by the Ring, but he is the leader and most powerful of the Nazgul. There is a long history between him and Aragorn's ancestors that can be read in the first appendix at the back of Return of the King. Some folks skip the appendices when they first read the book, but appendix A is a must in my opinion.
