i am not entirely sure what we're discussing; it's the black patch on his left shoulder, yeah?<P>When i saw it i noticed two scars, both flesh coloured (that i thought looked really fake); one was circular somewhere i nthe middle of his chest, which i assumed was Shelob and then one was on his left shoulder which i assumed was from the stab he received from the Witch King on Weathertop.<P>I noticed the marks the ring made around his neck and i thought that was very good; like a burn.<P>If we are talking about the black- ish patch i would be inclined to say it's not a brand. I think if it was it would have been more raw, possibly red so that everyone could see it first time around.
