The Lord of the Nazgûl, based on the Witch-king of Angmar, is the secondary antagonist from The Return of the King, Rankin-Bass's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's final The Lord of the Rings volume of the same title.
He was voiced by the late John Stephenson.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- The Lord of the Nazgûl came flying on his winged horse. He ordered the Great Gate of Minas Tirith to be destroyed with Grond the battering ram.
- Upon the gate being destroyed he meets Gandalf the White. The Lord of the Nazgûl mocks Gandalf in a horrible way and leaves the Orcs to run through the city in order to massacre a lot of people.
- Théoden’s horse goes wild when darkness covers the land thanks to the Lord of the Nazgûl, leading to the wild horse knocking Théoden off his saddle and being injured badly before the Lord of the Nazgûl flies toward him and attempts to kill him.
- The Lord of the Nazgûl taunts Éowyn before having his fell beast attack Éowyn, leading to Éowyn killing the beast.
- The Lord of the Nazgûl then destroys Éowyn’s shield before Merry stabs the Lord of the Nazgûl in the back and Éowyn kills the Lord of the Nazgûl.
- Unlike any other version, this Rankin/Bass version possesses free will and seems to enjoy all the misery and carnage he causes.
Trivia[]
- This is the only version of the Witch-king to be Pure Evil.
