When the Elves were making Rings, Sauron helped make each of the Rings of Power (except for the One which he alone made in secret, and the Three which Celebrimbor forged in secret).

I like your idea about him falling into evil so gleefully that he loses his personaltiy and becomes "dominated" by Sauron's - the perfect Mouth to speak your thoughts, as his personallity's been "replaced" so much his thoguhts were probably matched to Saurons! I read somewhere in Tolkien's works that he wasn't that old anyway.
Ah, that's it - he came into the service of Saruon when the Dark Tower was rebuilt (The Black Gate Is Open), and then forgot his name later. The Dark Tower wasn'ta round that long before the War of the Ring, so he's not too old. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I always imagined him as black, but then again in black armour as oppsoed to skin - maybe with a mask like his horse. Urrghhh*shudders*.

As yes, the Nazgul would have died of age if nothing lese had they not had the Rings. But then again - can you really call their existence true life anymore - no independant will, no visible form, no sight, exisiting ion the spirit-realm...
