What was Gothmog (the lieutenant of Morgul)?
Gothmog (who shares his name with the Lord of Balrogs in the First Age) took command of Sauron’s forces after the Witch-king was destroyed. Some believe that like the Mouth of Sauron he was human, while others claim that so responsible a position in Minas Morgul would only be given to another Nazgul. Several other possibilities also arise repeatedly. There seems to be no explicit evidence for any particular answer.
