Arnûben (thread previously named Second Mouth of Sauron)

[Ange1e4e5]

This character (working title Second Mouth of Sauron) is a Haradrim of Numenorean descent. The younger son of a Haradrim Matriarch of a city-state, Gandalf's task is to instruct him and he becomes a "Wizard's Pupil" of sorts to echo the relationship between Gandalf and Faramir. However, this young man will take Gandalf's words, twist them around and lead a coup against his family, bringing the rest of the city-state into line with Sauron. He will eventually succeed the First Mouth of Sauron in their role and as such will be the Mouth that entreats (uncourteously) with the leaders of the Free Peoples.

Will likely have a name of Adunaic origin to reflect his Numenorean heritage.

Name suggestion: Arnubên, meaning king-servant, steward; would be rather prophetic considering he's not the heir and his role afterwards is a steward to Sauron.

Taken from a list of Adûnaic names here.

Love this casting choice. Another would be Kunal Nayyar. If you watch him in the UK version of Criminal, he does a spectacular turn as an extremely unsettling man in an incredibly dramatic performance. He really has the chops

For @Haakon: I think this thread can be renamed Arnubên, since that seems to be the main choice for his name.
