The NAZGUL were
the most loyal and terrible servants of the Dark-lord. In origin they
were all mortal men, great and powerful lords in their own right, who
ruled many lands throughout Middle-earth. Each was seduced by the gift
of one of the Nine rings of Sauron, which imbued its wearer with great
powers of sorcery, and an almost unlimited lifespan. But like all of
the Dark-lord's gifts it was tainted, for each of the Nine rings was
ruled by the One, and thus the nine wearers became slaves of the overbearing
will of Sauron. Ultimately, by the end of the Third-age the Nazgul were
terrifying undead creatures, existing in a terrible twilight world between
life and death, with no thought or desire save that of the Dark-lord
himselfHaving no substance to their form, Ringwraiths are forced to
give shape to their nothingness by cloaking themselves in robes and
armor, becoming a horrific mockery of their former appearance. Their
gear is always intimidating in appearance, choosing to use elaborate,
fluted plate armor and wielding greatswords. They prefer the use of
weapons in battle, perhaps hearkening back to their days spent among
the living. Ringwraiths can sense the life-force of living beings, giving
them the advantage of the Blind Fight feat when in combat with living
creatures. A Ringwraith that is defeated in combat does not perish, but instead
its wounded spirit reforms over the course of several days. Indeed,
a Ringwraith cannot be killed save by the destruction of The One Ring
alone. The light of the sun robs a Ringwraith of its powers, and so it will
not willingly confront a foe during the day under an open sky. To compensate
for this, Ringwraiths travel abroad upon fell steeds raised under the
shadow of Minas Morgul, which are immune to the Ringwraiths unnatural
aura. In most instances these mounts are large warhorses, but during
the War of the Ring the Nazgul were seen riding great winged beasts.
NAZGUL has impressed everybody by flying the Jug. We all wondered how
it would take off as it weighed over 7 tons! But, undaunted the NAZGUL
has continually shrugged off the cat calls and jokes and stuck it out.
Much to everyone's chagrin he has surpassed the squadrons expectations
in his handling of the big fighter. He has learned his craft and mount
to such a high efficiency that he is one, if not the, best Boom and
Zoom pilot in 401. He has also proven to the unit that his dedication
and loyalty to it are unparalleled. The NAZGUL is always itching to go
up on combat ops and is always in his big beautiful JUG every chance
he gets. He is well liked and respected by all in the group.
Marshall fits in nicely with the lads. He is currently single and devotes
much of his time to skiing, guitar, photography and bicycling. Before
the war Marshall was in the fledgling field of computers.
