  "account": "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3 may have just revealed the identity of the Witch-king of Angmar, according to new insights from the show. Some fans believe Theo, played by Tyroe Muhafidin, is the Witch-king due to his complicated relationship with darkness and a sword hilt he discovered in Season 1. In Episode 2, Sauron offers Theo a ring of power, which eventually corrupts him into a Nazgûl. Theo's father had ties to Mordor, which could explain Theo's potential inheritance. While there is a chance it could be a deception by Sauron, the show's deliberate use of \"sorcerer\" and \"king\" suggests Theo is a strong candidate for the Witch-king of Angmar.",
