The Nazgul. Men?

[Kuruharan]

The Mouth of Sauron wasn't a Nazgul. Why not pick a Nazgul? Why would Sauron pick a weak human to do this job?

*Tangent Time*

Well, he might desire to have somebody around who was capable of a greater degree of independent thought, which I expect would be a drawback for a Nazgul.

*Tangent Time Over*

The Lieutenant of Dol Guldur was a Nazgul so the idea of the Lieutenant of Minas Morgal being a Nazgul still holds water. It also seems likely that Sauron would want his most loyal followers (Nazgul) in all the top posts in his most sensitive frontier fortresses.

Could Gothmog be a former Maia? Could he be Tom Bombadil's bipolar personality coming out?

Oh help! Let's not open that can o' worms!

(Oh, and by the way, Goldberry also didn't have a fea!)

Tolkien not mentioning it is enough for me.

Suit yourself. However, the Lieutenant of Dol Guldur being a Nazgul, and the repeated statement that it was "no brigand or orc chieftain that commanded the assault" (before the Witch-king was killed) leads me to believe that Sauron would not have allowed the command to fall to such rabble in the event that the Witch-king became indisposed. We know there were other Nazgul at the battle, I think it quite likely that the command would fall to one of them.


(Too optimistic, there's a description that is not often thrown my way!)
