There are really no clear answers on who Gothmog is. Is he Nazgul, Man, or Orc? We don't know and generally we have our own beliefs but there is no factual evidence unequivocally demonstrating to which race he belongs. I personally feel he is Nazgul as the W-K is the captain it would make sense that Gothmog is the Lieutenant. However we do know that Sauron employeed at least one man in a position of power and prominence, the Mouth of Sauron is a Black Numenorean.

I believe I will start a poll in this matter though.
