The Witch-King Of Angmar

 

Bio: The Witch-king of Angmar was the leader of the Nazgûl Ringwraiths, and Sauron's second-in-command in the Second and Third Ages. Once a king of men, he was corrupted by one of The Nine Rings of Power given to the lords of men and became an undead wraith in the service of Sauron. 

 

Powers: As a Nazgûl, the Witch King had a wide arsenal of powers. One power was The Black Breath (The Black Breath, also known as the Black Shadow, was a serious and often fatal medical condition, resulting from contact with a Nazgûl. Rather than actually being the breath of the unseen wraiths, it is more of an aura they can produce at will to incapacitate their foes.) Also any weapon that struck the Witch-King would be destroyed and, and its bearer would be poisoned. lastly, The Witch-King was also a feared sorcerer, having powers over the physical world.

 

Weapons: When entering a battle, his primary weapon is a mighty broadsword. This ancient weapon was created in the dark forces of Mordor, a blade that suited the Witch-king well. the Witch-king used this weapon to dispatch and cut down his enemies easily and effortlessly. It is possible that the sword has some fell magic entwined within it. The Witch-king's other primary weapon was his mace. The Lord of the Nazgûl uses this weapon with the same amount of skill and dexterity as his sword, able to take down several foes at once when used together. While the mace may not have any magic or curse placed on it like the sword does, it is obviously more menacing in general; a mighty weapon that can shatter shields and/or kill enemies in one swing. Together with his sword, the Witch-king was an unstoppable force, a mighty warrior that was only slain with the combined efforts of an extremely lucky shieldmaiden and hobbit whose blades were very powerful against the Witch-king specifically, a fact which was unknown to them. The Witch-king's last and smallest weapon was, in a way, more powerful than any of his primaries. That was a Morgul-blade, a deadly sorcerer's device that could turn any if it is stabbed into a lesser wraith, slave to the true Nine and Sauron. A Morgul-blade was reserved for the most powerful enemies of the Dark Lord, or for special purposes. A Morgul-blade is a powerful tool of destruction, with one of the most powerful curses imaginable upon it. A Morgul-blade has only 1 use, upon biting into flesh it will soon evaporate afterward and a new one must be created/conjured, a Morgul-blades damage lay in its magical properties that acts like a venom, the longer the blade is kept stabbed into the victim the swifter its effect has on the victim.

 

His Mount: Besides weapons actually crafted from forges in Mordor, the Witch-king also used his winged Fell beast as a method of attacking his enemies. This Fell Beast served two purposes: to take down enemy structures and catapults and to kill massive amounts of enemies at once. When the Witch-king (or indeed, any other Ringwraith) swooped down upon his enemies, they would flee in terror and attempt to save themselves (usually unsuccessfully).
