When it comes to fantasy villains, few can compare to The Lord of the Rings’ Sauron — A.k.a. The Dark Lord and the actual Lord of the Rings (for a time, anyway).
Often regarded as the stereotypical antagonist, Sauron regularly wreaks havoc upon Mordor in his quest to rule all of Middle-Earth across J.R.R. Tolkien’s stories. In the process, he regularly draws the ire of our favorite warrior/dwarf-elf-wizard/hobbit heroes. Simply put, Sauron is an ominous enemy you’re supposed to be afraid of.
About that: I don’t have the best news.
