Below, we answer: WhoisAnnatar?
And what are Sauron’s future plans for this form?

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Rings of Power season 2.
Who is Annatar?
“A storm is coming, Celebrimbor.”

And he ultimately succeeds.
In the third episode, Annatar is shown working with Celebrimbor.
Annatar later sows seeds of doubt with Celebrimbor by speaking on ‘behalf’ of High King Gil-galad.

By the episode’s end, the creation of the Dwarven rings has begun.
As of the fifth episode, work has started on Nine Rings for Men.
To start over and help make them himself.

The sixth episode sees Annatar dipping into Middle-earth’s politics.
Before the siege of Eregion, Annatar also finds time to head over to Khazad-Dum.
After being rejected, Annatar spots a familiar (possibly Balrog-shaped) vision in the flames.

Thesixth episodeends with an emotionally charged conversation between Annatar and Celebrimbor.
This is a ways off, though, and may not even be part of season 3.
But be wary of this prediction as well.

The Prime Video series is veering off from being a one-to-one adaptation of the establishedLord of the Rings timeline.
