The reveal of who Adar is on TheRingsOfPower might not have been spectacular, but it still served a greater purpose for the story going forward.

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Episode 6 of The Rings of Power.This week's episode of The Rings of Power, "Doom," brought us a mountain of revelations. Literally. Among exciting battles and the birth of Mount Doom, the true identity of one of the most mysterious characters of the series so far, Adar , was revealed. Since he first appeared in the show in the third episode, his real purpose and character were the subject of speculation throughout the internet.

Who Were the Possible Identities of Adar? Adar's identity was a huge source of excitement among the fans of Lord of the Rings, with many possible identities being thrown around. The first and most obvious connection was the Dark Lord himself, Sauron. Adar was not heavily marketed, having appeared only in posters and never with his face, only his left hand and sword. The fact that his name also means "father" in Quenya was also taken as a sign, as Sauron is the one Orcs obey.

The Rings of Power has a vast lore to draw from if it wants. Showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay could have easily opted to bring a familiar character back. They could have sprung that self-laid trap, but averted it successfully. Of course, it would be cool to see an actual Son of Feänor or someone who was directly involved in the Fall of Gondolin, but those two chapters of J.R.R. Tolkien's Legendarium don't really fit in The Rings of Power.
