If Ismael Cruz C\u00f3rdova hasn\u2019t convinced you he\u2019s a star, this episode will do it. His warrior elf, Arondir, faces unforeseen danger following his cliffhanger encounter with orcs in Episode 2. And key details about Halbrand (Charlie Vickers) are revealed. But one new character, Adar, makes his debut in the final moments, and he\u2019s a big enough player to have the episode named after him.<\/p>\n<p>New characters aren\u2019t the only ones to get excited about in the newest installation of the Prime Video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>, which will drop new episodes at midnight on Fridays from here on out. One of <em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em>\u2018 most recognizable names, Isildur (Maxim Baldry), is introduced, as is his father, Elendil (Lloyd Owen), and sister, E\u00e4rien (Ema Horvath). This family (ancestors of Aragorn) lives in the island kingdom of N\u00famenor, seen for the first time in all its aquatic glory. (Seriously, the visuals are wondrous \u2014 and the series built that body of water and the city, it\u2019s not CGI. Money: this show has it!)<\/p>\n<p>Plus, Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) uncovers vital information for her hunt for Sauron, a harfoot ritual reveals some gut-wrenching backstory about Poppy Proudfellow (Megan Richards), Nori Brandyfoot\u2019s (Markella Kavenagh) commitment to helping the Stranger (Daniel Weyman) causes some turmoil, and the orcs are seen as a group for the first time rather than the singular (but still threatening) orc in the kitchen in Episode 2 \u2014 plus, their nefarious plan is revealed.<\/p>\n<p>In N\u00famenor, we also meet Queen Regent M\u00edriel (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) and Pharaz\u00f4n, played by Trystan Gravelle, and they\u2019re none too pleased at the recent arrivals in the kingdom. So, who is the mysterious Adar? Here, we break down everything there is to know so far.<\/p>\n<p>Adar is a new character created for <em>The Rings of Power<\/em>, and he seems to be one of the show\u2019s villains. The mysterious figure <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears in the last moments of the episode, and while his face never fully comes into view, he is believed to be played by Joseph Mawle, who played Benjin Stark in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a> of Thrones<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>While we haven\u2019t seen his face or heard his voice, Adar\u2019s place in the episode reveals he\u2019s no hero. Adar is summoned by the orcs holding Arondir and others captive after an epic fight sequence. The orcs chant his name as he approaches, clearly establishing him as one of their leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Based on his outline, it seems Adar is the same character seen in one of the <em>Rings of Power<\/em> teasers leading a pack of orcs across a stone bridge. See for yourself, below:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1059864\" style=\"width: 2038px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1059864\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1059864\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/adar-orcs-rings-of-power.png\" alt=\"Adar and orcs in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power\" width=\"2028\" height=\"1155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/adar-orcs-rings-of-power.png 2028w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/adar-orcs-rings-of-power-450x256.png 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/adar-orcs-rings-of-power-1001x570.png 1001w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/adar-orcs-rings-of-power-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/adar-orcs-rings-of-power-570x325.png 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2028px) 100vw, 2028px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1059864\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prime Video<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Previous <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FellowshipFans\/status\/1457425507243470865\">rumors<\/a> about the character said Adar would be an evil figure leading an orc army. And based on Episode 3, that appears to ring true. These rumors also said Adar is not an orc (we can tell that already from the episode) or a human, but rather a corrupted elf.<\/p>\n<p>In J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s Sindarin language, \u201cadar\u201d translates to \u201cfather.\u201d This could mean Adar is revered by the orcs he leads. By all accounts, Adar sounds pretty evil! But the main Big Bad of <em>The Rings of Power<\/em> will be Sauron, who made a brief cameo in Episode 1 in flashback. Some believe the Stranger is Sauron. We compiled a list of our own theories here, but Sauron does seem like a good bet.<\/p>\n<p>Also worth noting in this villain chat is the fact that Pharaz\u00f4n (Ar-Pharaz\u00f4n in Tolkien\u2019s writing) was the last king of N\u00famenor. His arrogance and conceit led to the downfall of the kingdom before the end of the Second Age of Middle-earth. Between Pharaz\u00f4n, Isildur, and the Stranger (should the Sauron theories be true), it seems we\u2019ve met some of <em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em>\u2018 most infamous names. And with Adar now in the mix, the villains of the series seem to be creeping in.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-block\" data-skm-boomerang-el-8=\"processed\">\n<p><em><strong>The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,<\/strong><\/em><strong> Fridays, Prime Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
