10 Greatest Lord Of The Rings Villains
5. The Witch King Of Angmar
The Witch King was one of the nine kings of Men who were tricked into taking the rings of power from Sauron. They immediately fell under his influence and ended up as the undead ringwraiths. He's leader of the wraiths and joins them in their pursuit of the hobbits, finally catching up with them at Weathertop, where he wounds Frodo.
Later, Sauron gives him command of the siege on Minas Tirith, during which he has one of the worst pieces of bad luck in Middle-Earth. Having had it stated in a prophesy that no man can kill him, he obviously thinks himself pretty safe in battle, and when he comes across a Rohan soldier protecting a wounded Theoden he boasts that no man can kill him, only for the soldier to remove their helmet and reveal they are really Eowyn, who proclaims 'I am no man' and promptly kills him.
