Halbrand was introduced in the 2nd occasion of “ The Rings of Power, ” and we were left to presume if he was the man he was pretending to be or if he was cloaking his identity for a lesser purpose. Galadriel jumped from the boat that was carrying her and other Brownies to the Undying Lands of Valinor. She tried to close her eyes and tried to forget what she had noticed before. She tried to forget that she had seen a sigil that could be linked to Sauron( which she set up out in occasion 3 of “ The Rings of Power ” to be the chart of the Southlands) and tried to believe in what Elrond and the High King Gil- glad had told her. But her heart wouldn’t allow her to just leave Middle Earth to forfend for itself. She swam in the Sundering Swell until she was saved by many mortals from Southlands. But the raft, on which they had come, couldn’t survive the attack of the worm, a deadly sea critter. The mortals were presumably killed, but one of them survived. A man who called himself Halbrand set up Galadriel, and both of them got onto that small raft. Galadriel notices in Episode 2 of “ The Rings of Power ” that Halbrand was wearing a charm around his neck, which had a hallmark inscribed on it.
Latterly, in Episode 3 of “ The Rings of Power, ” Galadriel set up the mark on his charm in the House of Lores, where she was taken by Elendil. The hallmark belonged to the King of the Southlands, who formerly united the haphazard people of the Southlands under one banner. Galadriel believed that Halbrand was the due heir at law to the area of Southlands. She told him to formerly again help her pay envelope war against the wrong that was rising in Middle Earth. Galadriel knew that Sauron was back, and they had to join forces. She knew that only if men and Brownies fought together would they have a chance to master the evil lord. Mockingly, Halbrand says that he set up the charm on a dead man, and just because he liked the pattern, he took it. Now Galadriel believed that Halbrand was being humble about everything, and in fact, he'd disguised his identity under the rags of a pleb. But what if Halbrand was speaking the verity? What if he'd stolen the charm from a dead man to disguise himself?
Galadriel believes that Halbrand is further than he claims, and we agree with her. The point of discussion is whether he's a positive force, as she reckons him to be, or if he's the evil one whom she's searching for. Halbrand could veritably well be Sauron himself, or perhaps the makers just want us to believe in that fact so that we can not ascertain their coming move. A lot of characters in “ The Rings of Power ” are non-canonical, i.e., they weren't created, byJ.R.R. Tolkien. So, indeed if we relate to the erudite workshop of the author, we won’t be suitable to get a clear picture. The hypotheticals we're making are due to the numerous hints that we get in the course of the 3rd occasion of “ The Rings of Power. ” originally, as soon as Halbrand enters Numenor, he sees a blacksmith’s factory, and it seems that his eyes are fused to it. latterly, he meets the proprietor of that same factory and asks him to give him work. He said that he was ready to work at any slavish pay envelope, and he'd do it with proficiency. Now we realize that Halbrand was a veritably good handicraftsman, as he had the confidence that he'd be suitable to make anything that the blacksmith asked him to. But the blacksmith told him that he demanded the council crest, a tableware emblem, for forging sword in Numenor. He goes to a bar and tries to hide his intention to steal the council from a worker of Numenor. He's not suitable to do that, and the workers find that he was trying to steal it from them. Unexpectedly, Halbrand had the strength and the muscle to overpower a group of 5 to 6 people. We realize that he wasn't an ordinary man. At first, Halbrand looked like a delicate existent, but when the time came, we realized that he held certain combat chops that were unmatched. So, either he was the heir at law to the King of the Southern Lands, as said by Galadriel, or perhaps he was Sauron himself. Sauron was tutored in the craft of smithing by Aule. He was an excellent handicraftsman and far superior to anybody differently who was in that realm. The way Halbrand was acting, forced us to presume that he might have had some link to Sauron. latterly, in Episode 3 of “ The Rings of Power, ” we see that Halbrand doesn't tell Galadriel what exactly had happened when he'd gone to ask for work in Numenor. perhaps he was a humble man who kept his private affairs to himself in general. But there was a possibility that he didn’t want Galadriel to know that he wanted a job at the blacksmiths.
Sauron was a spiritual being who could take the shape and form of other people. Sauron wanted to impact the minds and hearts of men and achieve his own pretensions more snappily. Now the biggest question is that if Halbrand was Sauron, also why did he save Galadriel, who was an Elf, and who wanted to wage war against him? In the accounts ofJ.R.R. Tolkien, it was said that though Sauron knew that the men were easier to sway, he wanted the Brownies to be his slaves and cleave to his commands, as they were far more important than the residers of the Southlands. Episode 3 of “ The Rings of Power ” is like a pendulum, where for a moment, you suppose that Halbrand might be Sauron, and in the veritably coming moment, you're made to believe that he might be a gentleman or an heir at law to the King who formerly united the Southlands. In the court of Queen Regent Miriel, we see that Halbrand knows how to diplomatically play around, to turn effects in his favor, just like Sauron. He induced Queen Regent and Chancellor Ar- Pharazon, to give them three days so that indeed they could suppose about their offer, of proving Galadriel a safe passage through the swell. All these manipulative traits and characteristics make us feel that Halbrand might be Sauron. Halbrand knew how to play with words. He knew how to move people, how to impact them, and how to dominate them. But the conviction of Galadriel at the end of Episode 3 deters our hypotheticals. Brownies are intuitive in nature, and they can perceive pitfalls from hence. So why wasn’t she suitable to fete him? It's still a riddle. perhaps Sauron was an excellent shapeshifter, and he didn’t leave any kind of trail that might lead the others to his real identity.
We see in Episode 3 that the orcs had a master who was called Adar. Now Adar could veritably well be Sauron, but we've our dubieties there. originally, it would be too accessible concerning the figure-up that the makers are trying to produce. We feel that Adar could be some kind of commander-in-chief, who was a slave of Sauron and might have held a lot of significance in the battle that was going to be. Adar arrives at the end of the third episode, but his real identity is still kept hidden. Arondir and his associates had suspected that Adar would be another name for Sauron, but they didn’t know it for sure. That's the only presumptive proposition they could arrive at.
In the workshop ofJ.R.R. Tolkien, Sauron, disguised as Annatar, “ The Lord of Gifts, ” imparted knowledge to Celebrimbor, who, in turn, made the Rings of Power. In the series, it's enough important possible that rather than Annatar, they chose to show Halbrand, who would ultimately do the needful and supereminent Celebrimbor to the creation of the rings, considering he's a handicraftsman who has unequaled chops. It's veritably important possible that Halbrand would be the King who would reunite the Southlands, but the possibility that he's Sauron can not be denied unless and until the forthcoming occurrences of “ The Rings of Power ” give us some further clarity. Till also, we're left to presume on whatever information is handed to us.
