Sauron

Sauron is the overarching main antagonist of the United Republic.

A former Maia, Sauron was corrupted by the Dark Lord Morgoth, and became his right hand man. After Morgoths fall in the War of Wrath, Sauron succeeded him as Dark Lord. He is ever-present, working behind the scenes to achieve his goals. He is currently trying to unite the evil factions of the universe under one banner...HIS banner.

He enlisted the greatest blacksmith in Middle-Earth to craft his ultimate weapon. The One Ring. This blacksmith was an Elf named Celebrimbor. However, Celebrimbor figured out Saurons plan, and tried to stop him using the ring. He nearly succeeded, but the ring slipped from Celebrimbors finger at the last moment, leading to Saurons victory. He murdered Celebrimbors entire family in front of him, before killing the elf as well.
