well, I hate answering my own question, but I remembered I overlooked one also important aspect of the story when asking.
as Lieutenant of Barad-dur, Mouth of Sauron clearly was charged with dealing with internal business, and taking care of the matters in the Dark Tower. However, I have just found some quotes that make me believe it was just an ordinary emissary, and not a Ringwraith: Quote:
Quote:
And I have another reason that makes me think that the Nazgul never went to Erebor. Considering the story in the UT we can see what effect the presence of a Nazgul has, effects much more devastating then the words of the messenger at Erebor. People fled from their homes in Rohan when they went to Isengard, fear went before them and lingered behind them. These are clearly not the effects the messenger has. The hearts of the Dwarf chieftains are heavy, but not because of the messenger himself, but because of the message. They knew all what the messenger was talking about, and they all knew the might of Sauron - that is in my opinion reason enough to have a heavy heart. This quote is in my opinion very useful: Quote:
As Rune very well points out, the fact he had a "fell voice" or "hiss of snakes" do not mean he was necessarily a Nazgul. So my conclusion: this was just an "ordinary" emissary, that "[size=-1]could bring him no tidings."[/size]
