Vulrith the Dark

Early Life
Vulrith was born in the year 2973 in the port-city of Umbar. During that time Umbar was at war with Gondor and Vulrith's father Vuldor, Captain of Umbar, was slain in battle by Thorongil in 2980. Vulrith's mother Harcïr then took him to live in Gondor. There they became a respected family. However in 2995 Vulrith fled Gondor in search of power to claim Umbar for himself, as it was his heirloom. Because of his claim to Umbar Sauron was Vulrith's worst enemy, because he wanted to control Umbar himself without Sauron's influence. Vulrith came to Umbar and found there ancient Black Númenorean sorcerers who served Sauron. Vulrith joint them and learned much magic from them. In 3002 Vulrith killed the other sorcerers and left Umbar.

Life in Eriador
Vulrith now needed an army. He knew that in Eriador Sauron's armies were controlled by Angmar, but they were strongly divided. So he left to get them under his control. However he almost died trying to corrupt them. He then knew he needed more power. In 3005 he travelled to Angmar in search of more power but it was in vain, although his magic did become more powerful. Later that year Vulrith met a few the Dúnedain of the North and he killed them. He turned their bodies into wights and intended to use them to be part of his army.
