Gothmog a nazgul? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

As I've said previously, the Mouth of Sauron, a man, was Lt. of Barad-dur. It makes sense to me that the Lt. of Minas Morgul (Gothmog) would be a man too, especially given the fact that Minas Morgul would need leadership since the Nazgul left the tower frequently, sometimes all at once like when the Ring is on its way to Bree and Rivendell. I can't see Sauron leaving it unsupervised.

The Black Numenoreans may or may not have been rare, but I'm not claiming there was an army of them at Minas Morgul - just one more. Two is that not that much bigger than one when thinking in terms of scarcity.
