Man who forgot his name

Sorry, Saulotus, But no way. Nobody can withdraw a gift of Eru from his children. And about forgetting names. Don't you watch TV soap operas? There are lots of people forgetting their names and whatnot there

Mouth of Sauron must have entered his service in 2951 T.A. and was called ancient because by that time he was already old enough. Could well be he was one of the descendants of above named Black Numenoreans, or mere Gondorian, who got this name because of the darkening of his soul and his origins. And if he were really 3200 years old, than he would not have been alive, but wraith, or his, once human body, was rehoused or possesed by some other spirit. But it is clear that he was alive - than, as a conclusion - he entered Sauron's service openly no earlier than 2952 T.A. (and what was before? - maybe he was secretly worshipping Morgoth)
