After using his influence to convince Númenóreans to attack Aman, the island is destroyed by Eru.

After losing that war Sauron started a religion in Númenor. Enraged, Sauron started War of the Elves and Sauron. However, the elves were not deceived by his plan and took off their rings.

However, he also forged a master ring, the One Ring, to control the Rings of Power and ultimately rule over the kings. In the backstory of the The Silmarillion, he takes control of Middle-earth by giving several Rings of Power as "gifts" to the great kings of men, dwarves and elves after teaching the craft to the elves. The character in armor is Sauron, the main villain in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Also, the apparently eager Beyoncé would've made one badass Nazgûl. Title text: Using a ring to bind someone you covet into your dark and twisted world? Wow, just got the subtext there.
