The Witch King sounds like a likely candidate.
Morgoth falls, his greatest servant rises--->Sauron falls, his greatest servant rises?

Quote:

The crown rolled away with a clang. Éowyn fell forward upon her fallen foe. But lo! the mantle and hauberk were empty. Shapeless they lay now on the ground, torn and tumbled; and a cry went up into the shuddering air, and faded to a shrill wailing, passing with the wind, a voice bodiless and thin that died, and was swallowed up, and was never heard again in that age of this world.
From The Battle of the Pelennor Fields

How about the next age?

And while we're on the subject, wasn't this the basic premise of the MERP pen-and-paper RPG? Fighting new evils in the Fourth Age? I believe they had some really far-out ideas, including Sauron's half-elf daughter(born from some Elf maiden he seduced in Eregion), Dark Elves of the East etc.

In the history of men, whether fiction or non-fiction, there are never a lack of villians.

A previous poster states: "I've always had a liking for Radagast". Me too. It seems he is likable, but in the wrong place at the wrong time. A good story would be the 3rd age from Radagast viewpoint. I've always had a thought that since he so knowlegable of flora and fauna, and the master of shape an hue, he may be able to find the Entwives -- and perhaps if they were lost for so long, perhaps it is because they were disgruntled and didn't want to be found. Maybe the good Radagast in the 4th age might broker a reunion at the end? Perhaps maybe turn other good works by clumsy mistake?
