What's with the "Gothmog 2nd Nazgul, Khamul, 3rd Nazgul" stuff...
Khamul is named 2rd of the Nazgul behind the Witch King, and no other Nazgul are named... Gothmog refers to two entities in the legendarium... 1) The Lord of the Balrogs killed by Ecthelion of the Fountain 2) The Leutenient of Morgal who commanded the troops of Sauron after the Witch King is defeated by Eowyn and Merry ...of the second, which I believe is where you are getting the reference to him being a Nazgul it is never stated that he is one...and Since Khamul is specifically named 2nd in command (albeit only in Unfinished Tales)...Gothmog couldn't have been 2nd...PJ represented Gothmog as an half orc creature thing in RotK if you remember the movie, but other than that, we are given no reference to him...he could have been Nazgul, Orc, Man or other, but he is never described beyond this that I am aware of and therefore I don't believe he can be properly placed as a Nazgul...
