In another case of a seemingly throwaway line actually containing one hell of a secret, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power blatantly flaunts a couple of clues as to who Halbrand really is that are pretty hard to miss on a rewatch.
From the very first moment this apparent human shows up in the big-budget Amazon Prime show, the folks behind this latest chunk of Middle-earth were secretly teasing the massive reveal of him actually being the evil Dark Lord Sauron.
On top of the first shot of Halbrand in the series only showing off one eye of Sauron, one of his first lines after Galadriel is pulled to safety onto a raft containing Halbrand and a few other humans sees the evil lord within stating "Looks can be deceiving."
You can say that again.
By the end of season one, it's made known that this man of the Southlands was actually the figure who acted as one of Morgoth's servants, would ultimately forge the One Ring, and whose Eye would watch over Middle-earth throughout the War of the Ring.
