Embassy of Barad Dur - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It's a stupid question, but what manner of creature or race were the Black Embassy that accompanied the Mouth of Sauron, the Black Riders who went with him? They weren't Nazgul, and they definitely weren't orcs. I mean, this question has been burning me for days. Were they other Black Numenoreans (which I would tend to be inclined toward), or were they those 'lesser wraithes' or something different entirely? I don't think it even mentions them anywhere else, so I have no idea.
