Sauron and Thuringwethil

  Sauron is the titular character and the main antagonist of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. In the same work, he is identified as the Necromancer mentioned in Tolkien's earlier novel The Hobbit. In Tolkien's The Silmarillion (published posthumously by Tolkien's son Christopher Tolkien) he is also described as the chief lieutenant of the first Dark Lord, Morgoth. Tolkien noted that the "angelic" powers of his constructed myth "were capable of many degrees of error and failing," but by far the worst was "the absolute Satanic rebellion and evil of Morgoth and his satellite Sauron".
  Nowhere does Tolkien provide a detailed description of Sauron's appearance during any of his incarnations. According to The Silmarillion, Sauron was initially able to change his appearance at will. In the beginning he assumed a beautiful form, but after switching his allegiance to Morgoth, he took a sinister shape. In the First Age, Gorlim was at one point brought into "the dreadful presence of Sauron", but the only concrete hint about his appearance is a reference to his daunting eyes. As part of a plan to destroy Huan, Sauron took the form of the greatest werewolf in Middle-earth's history. When the plan backfired, he assumed a serpent-like form, and finally changed back "from monster to his own accustomed form". The implication is that his "accustomed form" was not, at least, overtly monstrous. It is understood to have been humanoid.
  Sauron took a beautiful appearance once again at the end of the First Age in an effort to charm Eönwë, near the beginning of the Second Age when appearing as Annatar to the Elves, and again near the end of the Second Age when corrupting the men of Númenor. But, like Morgoth before him, Sauron eventually lost the ability to change his physical form. After the destruction of his fair form in the fall of Númenor, Sauron was unable to take a pleasing appearance or veil his power again. Thereafter, at the end of the Second Age, he took the shape of a terrible Dark Lord. His first incarnation after the Downfall of Númenor was extremely hideous, "an image of malice and hatred made visible" [Silmarillion]. Isildur recorded that Sauron's hand "was black, and yet burned like fire...". In that grip, the Elven-king Gil-Galad perished from Sauron's heat.

  Thuringwethil (Woman of the Secret Shadow), probably a corrupted Maia, was the messenger of Sauron during his reign at Tol-in-Gaurhoth (the Island of Werewolves), in the First Age. She acted as a messenger between Angband and Tol-in-Gaurhoth in the form of a big vampire bat, with wings barbed with an iron claw at each joint. This appearance was used as Lúthien's disguise when she came to Angband for the Quest of the Silmaril.

  I have represented Sauron and Thuringwethil with the appearance that they could have in the time of Tol-in-Gaurhoth: wicked, but not yet completely disfigured by evil. I suspect that Thuringwethil was more than just a messenger, perhaps a lover? I could not resist the temptation to portray Sauron with the One Ring, though I admit that is a huge anachronism, as Sauron forged it only in the Second Age.
