Last week sometime, someone posted the supposed names of the Nazgul. Can
whoever
this was detail them again and give their source for these names? Also,
though I don't recall what name was given on the list for the second
Nazgul; I seem to recall seeing somewhere that his name was Gothmog. I know
this was also the name of the lord of the
Balrogs, so no need for correction on that point.

This Gothmog is referred to as a "lieutenant" or second in command Nazgul
and was
sent by Sauron to reoccupy Dol Guldur in the intervening years after Sauron
( in his guise
as the Necromancer) allowed himself to be driven out by the white council;
but prior to
the WOR.

I don't remember where I read this but will try to find the source. If
anyone here knows
please refresh my memory.

The supposed "names" of the Nazgul were IIRC created by Iron Crown
Enterprises for some RPG and are largely fiction.
They are *very* humorous however as they include such ridiculous names
as "Ren the unclean" and "Dwar of War" or something.
They're not worth knowing

Gothmog is referred to as "the lieutenant of Morgul" (RotK,V,6). It is
unclear whether or not Gothmog is a Nazgul. Some believe he is; some
believe he is not. There is no evidence either way.

I only know two: The Wizard King(or something like that because I am
tranlating from the spanish) boss of the nazgul and Khamul the second boss.

I've always thought he was a fallen Newmenuorean (Apologies for SP now - as I haven't
got any of the books to hand) like the Mouth of Sauron - Don't know why, it just made
sense to me.

Was he a balrog(with wings and all)?
