Legolas has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

We're given no reason to believe he is a Nazgul. Why should we assume he is? We shouldn't assume he is a member of such an exclusive group (only 9) until given evidence clearly supporting it. The other Nazgul that are given names/titles are presented clearly as such. Had Tolkien wanted him to be a Nazgul, why would he not say so?

"just a soldier" meant he was not a wraith. He may have been an orc, human, etc., but not a Nazgul.
